1. First Project-Meeting „Developing Quality in Mathematics Education II DQME II“ in Bratislava
Thanks for these nice welcoming words!
I am very happy to meet you all again here in Bratislava. It is good to see that so many people are interested in the work of our old project and want to join the continuation of the already done work, but also start something new. A european Network for Developing Quality in Mathematics Education.
Unfortunately working in a EU project does not only mean working on the content, but, as you all already noticed, also some administrational things. I want to clarify those now, at the beginning of this meeting, and then start working on the content –

2. Summary of Application - Workpackages
Developing and modifying learning material and teaching methods
Testing learning materials and teaching methods
Teacher Training Workshops and Materials (pre- and in-service)
Cooperation with national projects
Developing quality criteria for use in the project
The first part, until lunch, will concern the project agreement. After lunch I want to explain how the Communication Platform works and after that giving you a really short summary of the application and explain with this the programme structure of our meeting.

First of all I want to explain the role of Wolfgang, Celine and me between the project, the administration and the EU. We are also more interested in working on the content of the project and want to support every partner in this work! All administrational rules coming up during the project are not made by me, Wolfgang or Celine, but by the EU or the University of Dortmund. E.g. if I ask you for a contract for translations or estimations of costs for a laptop… Please keep that in mind!

The easiest thing to clarify most of the administrational things is on the basis of the Project Agreement.
Not everyone has a copy in the folder but most of you, because only one Agreement per institution is necessary…
This Agreement is a modified version of the old agreement. I will tell you what is modified…
