The initiative of organizing a Summer University (SU) on the History and Epistemology in Mathematics Education belongs to the French Mathematics Education community of the [[IREMs]] (Institutes of Research on Mathematical Education), in the early 1980’s. From those meetings emerged the organization of a SU on a European scale, as the European Summer University (ESU) on the History and Epistemology in Mathematics Education, starting in 1993. Since then, [[ESU]] was successfully organized in 1996, 1999, 2004 and 2007 in different places in Europe1. By now, it has been established into one of the main international activities of the HPM Group, which - from 2010 onwards - will be organized every four years, so that every two years there will take place at least one major international meeting of the Group; namely, ESU and the HPM Satellite Meeting of [[ICME]].

The ESU is neither a collection of intensive courses, nor a conference for researchers, but something in between. More specifically, it is a place where beginners, more experienced researchers and teachers present their teaching experience to the benefit of the participants and get a constructive feedback from them. It refers to all levels of education – from primary school, to tertiary education – including in-service teachers’ training. For ESU-6 the focus is preferably on work and conclusions based on actual classroom experiments and/or produced teaching & learning materials. The programme and activities of ESU-6 are structured around the following main themes.
