Abstract
The ICMI Study Conference on Research was a watershed event with a great deal of significant interaction between the participants. It was an energizing and involving experience, but as one of my tasks was to ‘summarize’ at the end of the conference, I tried to take a more objective stance during my involvement. I reported in my summary that I could detect certain emphases in the discourses together with some important silences.
