The ICIC maintains a number of sub-committees (e.g. Museums, Arts and Letters, Intellectual Rights or Bibliography) which also work with figures such as Béla Bartók, Thomas Mann, Salvador de Madariaga and Paul Valéry.
The ICIC works closely with the International Educational Cinematographic Institute created in Rome in 1928 by the Italian government under Mussolini.[10]

The International Institute of Intellectual Cooperation (Paris)

To support the work of the commission in Geneva, the organization was offered assistance from France to establish an executive branch, the International Institute of Intellectual Cooperation (IIIC), in Paris in 1926.[12] However, the IIIC had an autonomous status and was almost only financed by the French government, giving it a certain independence that created tensions with the League of Nations.[3] It maintained relations with the league's member states, which established national commissions for intellectual cooperation and appointed delegates to represent their interests at the institute in Paris. While being an international organisation, each of the IIIC's three successive directors was French:
From 1926 to 1930, Alfred Zimmern – the well-known British classicist and a pioneering figure in the discipline of international relations – served as the IIIC's deputy director.
As a result of the Second World War, the institute was closed from 1940 to 1944. It re-opened briefly from 1945 to 1946. When it closed for good in 1946, UNESCO inherited its archives and some parts of its mission.[13][14]
