ICMI was founded in 1908 at the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) in Rome and aims to improve teaching standards around the world, through programs, workshops and initiatives and publications.
[2] Till date, there have been fifteen ICMEs in fourteen different countries spread over all populated continents except Africa.
ICMI sometimes offers financial as well as moral support to facilitate the organisation of regional meetings these have to be related to mathematical education.

EMF Archived 2014-04-17 at the Wayback Machine Launched by the French Sub-Commission of ICMI on the occasion of the World Mathematical Year 2000, the series of Espace Mathématique Francophone conferences is built on a notion of "region" defined in linguistic rather than geographical terms, French being a common language among participants.
The award is named after Emma Castelnuovo, an Italian mathematics educator born in 1913 to celebrate her 100th birthday and honour her pioneering work.
The award honours persons, groups, projects, institutions or organizations engaged in the development and implementation of exceptional and influential work in the practice of mathematics education, including: classroom teaching, curriculum development, instructional design (of materials or pedagogical models), teacher preparation programs and/or field projects with a shown influence on schools, districts, regions or countries.
The project will have two main outputs: a book published in several languages and a blog which includes many materials for mathematics teachers to be used in the classroom.
