abstract: The Klein project is an initiative of the International Commision for Mathematical Instruction (ICMI), the maximum international institution regarding Math Education, inspired by Felix Kleins' famous book 'Elementary Mathematics from an Advanced Standpoint', published one century ago. The project is intended as a stimulus for mathematics teachers, to help them make connections between the mathematics they teach, or can be asked to teach, and the field of mathematics, taking into account the evolution of this field over the last century. As part of the project, several 'Klein conferences' are going to take place around the World. CIEM will organize a Klein conference in Spain in June 2010. Several members of the design team, an international panel of eight people chaired by Bill Barton, will attend.
