Abstract
ICTMA is a community of researchers from different countries working together to establish a learning culture of mathematical modelling. A clear aim is globalization of knowledge and understandings about research and theory about the teaching of mathematical modelling and applications that the community values. A characteristic of this global community in mathematical modelling and applications education is that it operates from a large variety of different theories and research paradigms when it comes to both research practices and teaching practices. The purpose of this chapter is to show that diversity but at the same time the inherent connections that create a fertile research field.
