The International Committee on Intellectual Cooperation (sometimes League of Nations Committee on Intellectual Cooperation) was an advisory organization for the League of Nations which aimed to promote international cultural/intellectual exchange between scientists, researchers, teachers, artists and other intellectuals. [cite book|last=Iriye|first=Akira|title=Global Community: The Role of International Organizations in the Making of the Contemporary World|publisher=University of California Press|location=Berkeley|date=2002|isbn=052023179] It was established in 1922, and counted such distinguished members as Henri Bergson, Albert Einstein, Marie Curie, Béla Bartók, Thomas Mann, Salvador de Madariaga, and Paul Valery.[ [http://biblio-archive.unog.ch/Detail.aspx?ID=408 Intellectual Cooperation and International Bureaux Section] , United Nations Office in Geneva] ]Unable to secure the funding required to maintain a significant office in Geneva, the organization was offered assistance from France to establish an executive branch (the International Institute of Intellectual Cooperation) in Paris in 1926.
The ICIC worked closely with the International Educational Cinematographic Institute created in Rome in 1928 by the Italian government.
Its work continued until 1946, when its role was taken over by UNESCO.
