N1 - Funding Information: Traditional philosophy had deliberately replaced the varied mathematical research practices with an idealised version; sociology had largely avoided mathematics (Heintz , , p. 9); as a consequence, hardly any reliable and representative description of mathematical research practices based on empirical data existed. This lack of empirical data needed to be remedied, and the community was keen to provide these empirical descriptions as part of international research collaborations such as Philosophy of Mathematics: Sociological Aspects and Mathematical Practice (PhiMSAMP; funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft; 2006–2010; Löwe and Müller , ) and Mathematical Cultures (funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council; 2012–2014; Larvor , ). Funding Information: Open Access funding provided by Projekt DEAL. The workshop Enabling Mathematical Cultures was funded by the EPSRC Project The Social Machine of Mathematics (Grant Reference EP/K040251/1).
