NOMAD workshop
2025
for doctoral students and newly graduated researchers in mathematics education
NOMAD, Nordic Studies in Mathematics Education, and the National Centre for Mathematics Education (NCM) at the University of Gothenburg arrange a one-day workshop, on how to write an article for NOMAD, for doctoral students and newly graduated researchers from the Nordic and Baltic countries annually.
The next workshop takes place June 3, 2025 at NCM in Gothenburg.
The workshop will give the participants an opportunity to get feedback on their draft articles as well as insight into the review- and publishing process. The submitted manuscript should fit the scope of NOMAD and be complete following the guidelines of NOMAD (see information for authors and reviewers). Participants will be assigned to review one paper prior to the workshop. The review report is to be sent to the author one week (May 27) before the workshop. Each participant will act as discussant on the reviewed manuscript at the workshop.
The workshop will be held by the editors of NOMAD, Jorunn Reinhardtsen (University of Agder), Cecilia Kilhamn (University of Gothenburg), Jake McMullen (University of Turku), Andreas Eckert (Linneaus university), Jonas Bergman Ärlebäck (University of Linköping) and Andreas Lindenskov Tamborg (University of Copenhagen).
The number of participants is limited. When the maximum number is reached, registration will close. The workshop is free of charge, but participants organize and pay for their own travel costs and lodging. The workshop will be held on site, participants are expected to attend in person.
To register for the workshop or ask questions, send an e-mail no later than April 30, 2025, to Andreas Eckert, andreas.eckert@gu.se.
The registration e-mail should include the following (in English):
- Name
- University and department
- Short description (max 300 words) of your doctoral research project and name/s of your supervisor/s
- A first version of a complete manuscript (in one of the, by NOMAD, accepted languages).
