Upcoming MCG Elections - Application Process started
MCG is led by a number of roles and persons. In the upcoming elections we will elect a president-elect and five IC-members. Elections will be held online. Information about the process, how to apply, and how to vote have been sent through a member email to the MCG members this October. The elections will be conducted in early 2027 and the elected individuals will be installed at the 15th MCG conference in Calgary in September of 2027.
On behalf of the Mathematical Creativity and Giftedness (MCG) election committee, we would like to ask you to consider submitting your application for one of six MCG positions: president-elect (term begins in September 2027 at the 15th MCG-conference in Calgary, Canada, becoming president in 2029, and past president in 2033 for two more years) or International Committee (IC) member (four-year term beginning at the 2027 conference). We will elect five new IC members to four-year terms in addition to the President-elect. Please consider running and/or supporting applications of your colleagues as proposers. Note that members of the IC are elected from MCG members who have participated in at least one previous MCG conference. Nominees for President-elect should have previous experience on the International Committee. Each applicant should have two proposers who are also members of MCG. For additional information, see the MCG constitution at this website.
Applications will be accepted until December 20, 2026. For all questions about elections, please contact Linda Sheffield at sheffield@nku.edu.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Mathematical Creativity and Giftedness (MCG) is an exciting topic that was overlooked in school education and in the educational research for a long time.
The International Group for MCG brings together mathematics educators, mathematicians, researchers, and others who are inspired to nurture and support the development of mathematical creativity in all and the realization of mathematical promise and mathematical giftedness.
MISSION
The purpose of the group is to bring together mathematics educators, mathematicians, researchers, and others who are interested in nurturing and supporting the development of mathematical creativity and the realization of mathematical promise and mathematical giftedness, promoting the improvement of teaching and learning mathematics, and widening students’ abilities to apply mathematical knowledge in innovative and creative ways. The work of the Group will concentrate on distinct but interrelated domains such as:
mathematical creativity for all students, from all backgrounds, and of all ages,
mathematical creativity, aptitude, and achievement,
mathematical giftedness, talent and promise,
mathematical creativity for individuals or teams, inside or outside the classroom,
mathematics competitions.
