The International Commission on Mathematical Instruction is a worldwide organisation devoted to research and development in mathematical education at all levels. Its purpose is:
to promote international programs of activities and publications that improve the collaboration, exchange and dissemination of ideas and information on all aspects of the theory and practice of contemporary mathematical education.
to foster efforts to improve the quality of mathematics teaching and learning worldwide.
to support and assist the International Congress on Mathematical Education (ICME) and meetings or conferences of ICMI affiliated organizations.
ICMI was founded in 1908 and has been a commission of the International Mathematical Union (IMU) since 1952.
