Discussion groups
DGs are meant to gather congress participants who wish to actively discuss, in a genuinely interactive way, certain challenging or controversial issues and dilemmas of a substantial, non-rhetorical nature pertaining to the theme of the DG. During the year we have from now up to the congress, the discussion group will post in their page at the ICME-11 web site, contributions that define, limit, and/or present basic premises, viewpoints, theoretical considerations, reasearch findings, and facts that should be accounted for if a fruitful discussion is to be attained.
