Resolutions of the Congress

  1. ICMI should continue and increment its cooperation with other associations devoted to furthering mathematical and scientific education.
  2. National Subcommittees if ICMI should be reactivated. In fact many countries are not active in both matters of national concern and in international cooperation and contacts.
  3. Internationally composed committees, working groups and study groups have been established in preparation for or during in order to study and further particular areas of research in mathematical education, as HPM or PME. These are invited to continue their work. Moreover it is recommended that the theme "Women and Mathematics" be an explicit theme of ICME 1980.
