The ATEE is a non-profit European organisation, whose aim is to enhance the quality of Teacher Education in Europe and to support the professional development of teachers and teacher educators at all levels. ATEE includes several Research and Development Communities (RDC). The ATEE Winter conference is annually organised by one RDC. The RDC on Science and Mathematics Education, together with the University of Minho, is in charge of the organisation of the 2026 Winter Conference.

​

Founded in 1973, the University of Minho has two major poles: the campus of Gualtar in Braga, and the campus of Azurém in Guimarães. It is currently among the most prestigious institutions of higher education in the country, and it has also gradually come to assert itself on the international scene. The University's organisational structure is flexible and conducive to innovation and interdisciplinary, favouring the exploration of emerging research areas. The teaching and research units - Schools and Institutes - are the basic structures of the University: School of Architecture; Arts and design, School of Sciences, School of Medicine, School of Law, School of Economics and Management, School of Engineering, School of Psychology, School of Nursing, Institute of Social Sciences, Institute of Education, Institute of Arts and Humanities and the Research Institute I3Bs. The University of Minho study programmes and research projects have gained strong international recognition. The University of Minho is a research university, committed to the valorisation of knowledge: Research, Development and Innovation, and it is also focused on the socio-economic environment, with many successful partnerships in research, cultural and socio-economic development projects. Since 2019, the University of Minho has been a partner of the Arqus European University Alliance.

We look forward to seeing you in Braga!
