The International Commission on Intellectual Cooperation (in French, Commission internationale de coopération intellectuelle, CICI) was a body of the League of Nations created in September 1921 on a French proposal. Its aim was to enforce the collaboration of different nations in intellectual works and to strenghten the peaceful project of the League of Nations by building an international spirit and favorizing communication between cultures. The Commission, dissolved in 1946, was the ancestor of today's UNESCO built after World War II in the same spirit. Headed by the French philosopher Henri Bergson, it gathered personalities such as Albert Einstein, Marie Curie, etc.
