The local organizers were Livia Giacardi and Erika Lu- ciano. The Scientific Program Committee was composed by Kristín Bjarnadóttir (University of Iceland), Fulvia Furinghetti (University of Genoa, Italy), Livia Gia- cardi (University of Turin, Italy), Erika Luciano (University of Turin, Italy), Johan Prytz (Uppsala University), Gert Schubring (Universität Bielefeld, Germany/Uni- versidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), with the scientific support of Ferdi- nando Arzarello (University of Turin, Italy), president of ICMI. Altogether there were 51 participants from 16 countries, 44 contributions (re- search reports and posters) were presented. After processing by peer reviews, 28 papers are published in these Proceedings. They may be categorized according to the following thematic dimensions: Ideas, people and movements Kristín Bjarnadóttir; Kajsa Bråting and Tove Österman; Livia Giacardi and Mar- gherita Raspitzu; Erika Luciano; Gert Schubring; Harm Jan Smid.
