Contemporary Dialogues on Implementation Research at CERME13

s previously mentioned in this journal (Jankvist et al., 2021), the work carried out in the Thematic Working Group 23, “Implementation of research findings in mathematics education” (TWG23) of the Congress of the European Society for Research in Mathematics Education has found a natural continuation in the pages of Implementation and Replication Studies in Mathematics Education (IRME). The direct reason for this natural continuation is the active involvement of IRME’s editors in developing the TWG23 over the past six years. Nevertheless, the TWG23 has been important for shaping an overt and precise discussion about implementation in mathematics education and a hub for the newest ideas in implementation research in mathematics education.

As a result of the nature of the TWG23 and our involvement in it, we will, in this editorial, present a report from this working group’s latest meeting at CERME13, the 13th Congress of the European Society for Research in Mathematics Education, held in Budapest in July 2023. Due to her role as co-leader of the TWG23 at CERME13, Linda Marie Ahl has been invited to co-author this editorial. The editorial provides an overview of the papers presented in the TWG23 and the thematic discussions in this working group. It also provides a synopsis of the papers included in this issue of IRME.
