International Committee on Intellectual Cooperation

The International Committee on Intellectual Cooperation, sometimes League of Nations Committee on Intellectual Cooperation, was an advisory organisation for the League of Nations which promoted international exchange between scientists, researchers, teachers, artists and intellectuals. Established in 1922, it counted such figures as Henri Bergson, Albert Einstein, Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, Jagadish Chandra Bose, Nitobe Inazo, Marie Curie, Gonzague de Reynold, Leonardo Torres Quevedo, and Robert A. Millikan among its members.

In its first years the committee worked on the protection of intellectual property copyright, library information science (LIS), educational management, education, youth, the future of culture, international collaboration in arts and literature, protection of historical monuments, cooperation between galleries, libraries, archives, and museums (GLAM), etc. This way it gave rise to the United Nations Education Science Culture Organization (UNESCO).
