Wednesday 2 November 2022 the 3rd Øresund conference on basic courses in university level mathematics will take place at Lund University. The conference is organised jointly by the Centre of Mathematical Sciences at Lund University and LearnT at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU).

The theme of the conference is to discuss the interplay between mathematical didactics and first year courses in mathematics at the university level. 

In particular, we wish to shed light on the following questions:

1. How does research in mathematical didactics influence first year university courses in mathematics?
2. How do first year mathematics courses influence reserach in mathematical didactics?
