Résumé
Three main challenges had to be met by the European Society for Research in Mathematics Education (ERME) Board elected in Osnabruck. The challenges include: to take initiatives to prepare a new generation of European researchers in mathematics education according to the ERME spirit; to involve a sufficiently large number of European researchers in mathematics education, in order for Congress of European Research in Mathematics Education (CERME) to become the representative forum of European research in the field; and to ensure stability to the new-born society through a legal status anchored in the laws of one of the European countries. The chapter presents a significant reflection that took place on quality and inclusion in the CERME conferences. It focuses on developments aimed at the ongoing strengthening of the society. CERME's policy of encouraging presentation of as many papers as possible was sometimes seen to act against high scientific standards. Seeking a balance between quality and inclusion was seriously problematic.
