Kristín Bjarnadóttir is a professor emeritus at the University of Iceland, School of Education, and has been on the standing committee of the ICHME-conferences since 2009. She earned a MSc degree in mathematics at the University of Oregon in 1983, and PhD degree in mathematics education at Roskilde University, Denmark, in 2006. She led the writing of Iceland's national mathematics curricula for primary- and secondary-school levels in 1999, wrote on History of Arithmetic Teaching in The Handbook on the History of Mathematics Teaching (Karp & Schubring, 2014), and on Nordic cooperation in Modern mathematics. An international movement (De Bock, 2023).

Fulvia Furinghetti is a retired full professor of Mathematics Education in the Department of Mathematics of the University of Genoa, Italy. Her research concerns: beliefs, images of mathematics in society, proof, problem solving, the use of history of mathematics in teaching, teacher professional development, integration of mathematics and computer science, and the history of mathematics education. She was one of the organizers of the celebrations for the Centenary of the journal "L'Enseignement Mathématique" in Geneva (2000) and for the Centenary of the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction (ICMI) in Rome (2008). In both cases, she was one of the editors of the proceedings. With Livia Giacardi, she has developed a website on the history of the first hundred years of ICMI and in 2022 edited a book on this subject. In 2001–2004, she chaired the International Study Group affiliated to ICMI on History and Pedagogy of Mathematics (HPM).

Alexander Karp is a professor of mathematics education at Teachers College, Columbia University. He received his PhD in mathematics education from Herzen Pedagogical University in St. Petersburg, Russia and also holds a degree from the same university in history and education. Currently, his scholarly interests span several areas, including the history of mathematics education, gifted education, mathematics teacher education, and mathematical problem solving. He served as the managing editor of the "International Journal for the History of Mathematics Education" and is the author or editor of over one hundred publications, including over thirty books.

Karolina Karpińska is assistant professor in the Institute for the History of Science, Polish Academy of Sciences. In 2017, she received her PhD in the history of mathematics. Her current research is related to the history of mathematics education, with particular attention paid to the Polish territories in the 1795–1918. At that time, Poland was occupied by three empires: Prussia, Austria and Russia, and consequently there were schools with Polish, Prussian, Austrian and Russian curricula and relevant languages of instruction. She has published several papers in this field, including: Gnomonics in Secondary School Education in the Territories of Poland in the 17th–20th Centuries, in: Advances in the History of Mathematics Education (Springer, 2022) and 'Denominate numbers' in mathematics school textbooks by Stefan Banach, "Historia Mathematica" 59(2022).

Johan Prytz is associate professor at the Department of Education at Uppsala University. He has PhD in mathematics with specialization in the history and pedagogy of mathematics. His main research interest is in the intersection of mathematics education and history of education; he has several publications in both disciplines. Many of the publications concern mathematics education in the 20th century, governance, and curriculum reforms. A special focus in some studies is the role of textbooks in reform processes. He is also engaged in studies on how research results in mathematics education are implemented in schools and professional development of teachers.

Gert Schubring is a retired member of the research institute Institut für Didaktik der Mathematik (Bielefeld), and at present acting in the Graduate Programme Ensino e História da Matemática (PEMAT) of the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (Brazil). His research interests focus on the history of mathematics and the sciences and their systemic interrelation with social-cultural systems. One of his specialisations is history of mathematics education. For having established this as an international research programme, he was distinguished by receiving the Hans Freudenthal Award by the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction (ICMI). He has published a great number of papers in journals and many books, among which is Conflicts between Generalization, Rigor and Intuition: Number Concepts Underlying the Development of Analysis in 17th–19th century France and Germany (2005). He was Chief-Editor of the "International Journal for the History of Mathematics Education", and is co-editor of the series "International Studies in the History of Mathematics and its Teaching".
