SESSIONS

There will be some keynote presentations highlighting important issues in both software and community developments (20 min for presentation + 10 min for questions). We welcome submissions for short presentations about interesting applications of GeoGebra, research (including the use of GeoGebra to research Mathematics) and local community activities, these presentations can be 12 min for presentation + 3 min for questions due to the shortage of time. Posters can be also presented in digital form.

There will be no parallel sessions. All participants will attend the presentations of the other colleagues. The list of abstracts is nere.

Program


DATE AND LOCAL

The event will be held on July 30, 2018 (Monday) in the auditorium of the Building F (Faculty of Economics) at the Gragoatá Campus of the Fluminense Federal University, Niterói, RJ, Brazil.

Niterói lies across Guanabara Bay facing the city of Rio de Janeiro and forms part of the Rio de Janeiro Metropolitan Area. It can be reached from Rio de Janeiro by boat, by car or by bus. By boat: the ferry between Rio and Niteroi is a pleasant and affordable trip. It takes between 10 and 20 minutes to cross the bay, depending on the fare for a slow or fast boat from adjoining terminals at Praça XV. By car or bus: From Rio you just drive through the longest bridge in Brazil, the Ponte Rio-Niterói; just like the name says it connects both cities. It´s 13 km (8 mi) in length and there is a toll of R$ 4,90 (you pay 1 way only, coming from Rio). Buses from Rio: Lines 771, 770, 100 and others.
