Message from PME Presidents Dear Colleagues from PME, Marking the first time PME was held in Sweden, PME 42 in Umeå (July 3-8) drew over 680 participants from over 49 countries and was seen by all who attended as an experience not to be forgotten. With a conference theme of Delight in Mathematics Education, the conference chairs of Ewa Bergqvist and Magnus Österholm and the whole local organizing team delighted our minds – with a stimulating scientific program – and our senses with the midnight sun and an open air conference dinner. From the opening session right through to the closing session every need of the many participants was anticipated and while a well-structured conference schedule to the ample spaces to present, listen, and confer the scientific program fed our minds, fika filled our stomachs. For me, this was a special conference as I was able to merge my passion for PME with the joy of being back in the country of my childhood. Scientific and social programs aside, PME 42 was also a time of managing our affairs. At our AGM we approved the special project, School Mathematics: Connections to Social and Cultural Contexts in East and Central Africa to be held Strathmore University in Nairobi, Kenya in the summer of 2019. We also approved a PME regional conference to held in Moscow, Russia in March 2019 (https://education.yandex.ru/pme/en/). (continued on page 2)
