The Richard Skemp Memorial Support Fund was established to support academics who normally would not have access to the PME conference.

Applicants for a grant from the fund must submit an individual submission and pay the non-refundable conference deposit, prior to the applicant’s proposal being reviewed. A grantee must have at least one proposal accepted.

In general:

• only one of the authors of a particular proposal will be eligible to apply for a grant
• those who have already received a grant on two prior occasions will not receive an additional grant
• for applicants who have already received a grant in a previous year, priority will go to those who have an accepted research report rather than an oral communication or poster presentation.

Donations to the Richard Skemp Memorial Support Fund

The Richard Skemp Memorial Support Fund plays an important role in making the conference more accessible to mathematics educators who would not otherwise be able to attend. This financial assistance depends on the generosity of the PME community. For this reason, a compulsory donation of €10 is included in the pre-registration fee.

The IPC encourages members to make an additional donation, however small, to the Skemp Fund when paying membership fees or registering for annual conferences.

All participants should make their payment by credit card payment or bank transfer. After confirming your registration, you will find the information to make the credit card payment or information about the bank account details to make the payment.

If you are wanting to pay by bank transfer, email pme47@massey.ac.nz for account information.

Provide the following information when making the payment:
PME47-Surname, Name.

After the payment, you must send a copy of the bank transfer receipt to pme47@massey.ac.nz to complete the payment process. An email confirmation will be sent back to you.

For registered participants

Participation in the conference is conditional upon registration and payment of all fees. All cancellations and changes regarding the conference registration must be sent to pme47@massey.ac.nz.

In all cases, the conference deposit will not be refunded.

If a cancellation is made after the full registration fee has been paid: Before 3 June 2024, the refund will be the amount of the full registration fee minus the conference deposit and the fees that the bank charges for transferring the refund.

Refund = (registration fee – conference deposit) – bank fees.

Cancellation after 3 June 2024 will be subject to the discretion of the Conference Chair on an individual basis.

For accompanying people

If a cancellation for an accompanying person is made after the full registration fee has been paid, before 3 June 2024, the refund will be the amount paid minus the fees that the bank charges for transferring the refund will be refunded.

Refund = accompanying person fee – bank fees.

General information

Participation is not guaranteed until full payment of the registration fee is received.

The conference programme may be subject to changes based on decisions by the IPC.

In the case of unforeseeable events, it is up to the IPC to decide on changes or the cancellation of the conference and the amount of refund of payments.

If the conference is cancelled, the remaining funds will be paid back to the participants and no further liability of the local organisers or PME will be accepted towards the client.
