for the Ptriod 29 Dcccmber 2020 to 31 Deeember 2021
On D¢ceTnber 29, 2020 IGPME received a mebsage from the Charity Comtni55ion, notifyiiig ihat IGPM& has been
acccptcd as a CliaTTtdblt Incorpordted or&FlSlin under UK law. This completed a long proccss to egtablish a legal
foundation for IGPME as an urgdni£alion. In 2021, the IGPME Board ol. Trutstees Ithc International C.omrnittcc, IC, in
what follows) has b¢en lcdrning about the details for running its adminibtration in accordance with UK laws.
The orgdnizatioii is governed by a constitution that bp¢eifies tlie procedures for clcctions, voting on proposals and oth¢r
fundameiitsl regulationb aboul the fun¢tioning of Oklr organizÉi¢ioll. The constitution can bc changed only via a votc of
lh¢ iiienibersliip at ail Ai)nual GEneral Meeting {AGM). Election5 for Pre%idcnt and ncw International c.ommittee
Inembers tdke place at thc AGM, held near the end of each Annual C.onfercnce. In addition, proposals for major
d¢cisigns are PTcsellted. disius and voted on at the AGM. A Polity Mceting is held for open discussion of issues
durin¥ ihe week prior to Ihc AGM. I'he IC is responsible for adD)inist¢ring th¢ affairs of the Group, including ov¢r%ight
of the Annual Coi)fer¢ncE and of the Group's finances. I'he IC. hag 17 mcmbers, including an Executivc Committc
consistins of Ptesidenl, Vice President, Secrctsry. .1 rca%ur¢r, and tlic Policy Chair. The Prcsidcnt is for a 3-ycar temi.
otli¢r Theiiibers are elected for 4-ycar ternhs. with tour mciiib¢rs Tcplaced tach year via election by thc mcmbcTship.
IGPME also has dn adn)inistrative inanagcr (AM}, who takes carc of many runnit)g issu¢s ijf the organization. Our
previous AM Birgit Cjriesc reiired froni thc po%ition in 2021 and in November 2021 IGPME appointcd Angateeah
Kheniduth Singh as the new Administrative Managcr.
BeKaiisc of thc pand1¢, the IC and executiveb had only i)Mline nieetings in 2020 and 2021. In 2020, th¢ IC had 2
m¢ctings and thc cxccutiwes had 16 rneetings. Ill 2021. the IC liad 7 rn¢ctin¥¥ and the executiv¢s had 6 me¢tin8S.
AGM for 2020 and 2021 were organized as online Tneetin¥s. ¢v¢n if ihib Wds not ¢Xli¢tly according to our constitution.
Thesc mcctirtgb had 71 and {cir¢al 150 participdting men)berb. respectively in 2020 and 2021. Th¢ decision to have the
AGM as an online meeting wa% llndnimoiisly agreed by all participants in th¢ AGM. In 2020 we decided to not organize
an election of new IC niembeis. Inst¢ad, the IC nominaied trusttees for one year an(i postponed the election of new

IGPME could not organi2e its yearly onsite cOnf¢r¢nS for 2020 and 2021 as pldnn¢d. For 2020, IGPME ¢anc¢ll¢d thc y¢arly ¢onferen¢c, bui organized a mole limited Virtual meeting instead, hosted by Khon Kaen univer4ity,-l-hailand. Th¢ virtual niectiiig hJd 312 participants. In 2021. IGPME decided to organizc the confercncc oiiline. The conf¢ren¢e was organiz¢d iogeiher by Khon Kaen university, Thailand and Tcchnion univerltY, Isracl. Thc number of 2020 and 2021 qubmiltcd RR proposals wa.% 296, and 146 of thcm wcrc acecptcd. Of tho8e rejected a% RR proposals, -14 wcre invited to be rcsubmittcd as OC. and 13 SS PP. Thi8 virtudl mccting had 262 participant In 2021 PME also organizcd a series of six online mectings for Early Re%carch¢r¥. The8¢ talks wcr¢ comdutted at different time zoncs to cater to diffcrcnt regions of the world. The preparatiOTbS for the 2022 conference have been ongoing, and IGPME organizes PME45 in Alicante. Spain on 18-23 July 2022. The PME46 will be or8aniz¢d in July 2023 in Israel. In 2023 a regional conf¢r¢n¢e will be organized in Thailand. To advanLe sLi¢ntific discussion and dibsemination of scientific findiiigs. IOPME will host and share keynote prts¢ntations online in ihe coming conferen¢¢s. IGPME hds examined and resolved the r¢lat¢d l¢gal and iechnical 155ues. IGPME has d¢v¢lop¢d a proposa] for a publication ethics statement for th¢ ¢onferen¢e procecdiiigs ol. PME. Besides the idea gf do¢umenting the high stdniJdrd& of PME publiuiion pr£letice, a publi¢ly availdble publication eihies stateinent is a n¢ces8ary condttiun for gettingF PME public£ltlOll5 indexed in Scopus. This proposal Also awaits approval at the AGM. PME Finance5 Despite having to cancel conferences, th¢ IOPME financial situation is While our incom¢ d¢Llin¢d due to having rewer membership fees, also our costs on travel and #ccvmmoddtion were reduced. Th¢ Iredsur¢r hab pf¢pdred a more detailed report on IGPME finan¢e$. Due to Covid TeStTiCtions, our 2020 accounts got delayed. H¢nce here, we report on PME finances both for y¢ar¥ 2020 and2021. Our main sour¢c of income is the conference registratioll fee from our membership, which Consists in membership fee, donaiion to the Skemp fLind, and tl)¢ conference fee.

On D¢ceTnber 29, 2020 IGPME received a mebsage from the Charity Comtni55ion, notifyiiig ihat IGPM& has been
acccptcd as a CliaTTtdblt Incorpordted or&FlSlin under UK law. This completed a long proccss to egtablish a legal
foundation for IGPME as an urgdni£alion. In 2021, the IGPME Board ol. Trutstees Ithc International C.omrnittcc, IC, in
what follows) has b¢en lcdrning about the details for running its adminibtration in accordance with UK laws.
The orgdnizatioii is governed by a constitution that bp¢eifies tlie procedures for clcctions, voting on proposals and oth¢r
fundameiitsl regulationb aboul the fun¢tioning of Oklr organizÉi¢ioll. The constitution can bc changed only via a votc of
lh¢ iiienibersliip at ail Ai)nual GEneral Meeting {AGM). Election5 for Pre%idcnt and ncw International c.ommittee
Inembers tdke place at thc AGM, held near the end of each Annual C.onfercnce. In addition, proposals for major
d¢cisigns are PTcsellted. disius and voted on at the AGM. A Polity Mceting is held for open discussion of issues
durin¥ ihe week prior to Ihc AGM. I'he IC is responsible for adD)inist¢ring th¢ affairs of the Group, including ov¢r%ight
of the Annual Coi)fer¢ncE and of the Group's finances. I'he IC. hag 17 mcmbers, including an Executivc Committc
consistins of Ptesidenl, Vice President, Secrctsry. .1 rca%ur¢r, and tlic Policy Chair. The Prcsidcnt is for a 3-ycar temi.
otli¢r Theiiibers are elected for 4-ycar ternhs. with tour mciiib¢rs Tcplaced tach year via election by thc mcmbcTship.
IGPME also has dn adn)inistrative inanagcr (AM}, who takes carc of many runnit)g issu¢s ijf the organization. Our
previous AM Birgit Cjriesc reiired froni thc po%ition in 2021 and in November 2021 IGPME appointcd Angateeah
Kheniduth Singh as the new Administrative Managcr.
BeKaiisc of thc pand1¢, the IC and executiveb had only i)Mline nieetings in 2020 and 2021. In 2020, th¢ IC had 2

IGPME could not organi2e its yearly onsite cOnf¢r¢nS for 2020 and 2021 as pldnn¢d. For 2020, IGPME ¢anc¢ll¢d thc y¢arly ¢onferen¢c, bui organized a mole limited Virtual meeting instead, hosted by Khon Kaen univer4ity,-l-hailand. Th¢ virtual niectiiig hJd 312 participants. In 2021. IGPME decided to organizc the confercncc oiiline. The conf¢ren¢e was organiz¢d iogeiher by Khon Kaen university, Thailand and Tcchnion univerltY, Isracl. Thc number of 2020 and 2021 qubmiltcd RR proposals wa.% 296, and 146 of thcm wcrc acecptcd. Of tho8e rejected a% RR proposals, -14 wcre invited to be rcsubmittcd as OC. and 13 SS PP. Thi8 virtudl mccting had 262 participant In 2021 PME also organizcd a series of six online mectings for Early Re%carch¢r¥. The8¢ talks wcr¢ comdutted at different time zoncs to cater to diffcrcnt regions of the world. The preparatiOTbS for the 2022 conference have been ongoing, and IGPME organizes PME45 in Alicante. Spain on 18-23 July 2022. The PME46 will be or8aniz¢d in July 2023 in Israel. In 2023 a regional conf¢r¢n¢e will be organized in Thailand. To advanLe sLi¢ntific discussion and dibsemination of scientific findiiigs. IOPME will host and share keynote prts¢ntations online in ihe coming conferen¢¢s. IGPME hds examined and resolved the r¢lat¢d l¢gal and iechnical 155ues. IGPME has d¢v¢lop¢d a proposa] for a publication ethics statement for th¢ ¢onferen¢e procecdiiigs ol. PME.

This proposal Also awaits approval at the AGM.
