Abstract	This paper is the "Discussion Document" for a forthcoming ICMI Study on "Applications and Modelling in Mathematics Education." As will be well-known, from time to time ICMI (the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction) mounts specific studies in order to investigate, both in depth and in detail, particular fields of interest in mathematics education. The purpose of this Discussion Document is to raise some important issues related to the theory and practice of teaching and learning mathematical modelling and applications, and in particular to stimulate reactions and contributions to these issues and to the topic of applications and modelling as a whole (see Section 4). Based on these reactions and contributions, a limited number (approximately 75) of participants will be invited to a conference (the "Study Conference") which is to take place in February 2004 in Dortmund (Germany). Finally, using the contributions to this conference, a book will be produced (the "Study Volume") whose content will reflect the state-of-the-art in the topic of applications and modelling in mathematics education and suggest directions for future developments in research and practice. The authors of this Discussion Document are the members of the "International Programme Committee" for this ICMI Study. The committee consists of 14 people from 12 countries, listed at the end of Section 4. The structure of the Document is as follows. In Section 1, we identify some reasons why it seems appropriate to hold a study on applications and modelling. Section 2 sets a conceptual framework for the theme of this Study, and Section 3 contains a selection of important issues, challenges and questions related to this theme. In Section 4 we describe possible modes and ways of reacting to the Discussion Document, and in the final Section 5 we provide a short bibliography relevant to the theme of this Study. (Author).
