Since the establishment of ICMI during the fourth International Congress of Mathematicians held in Rome in 1908, Executive Committees of the Commission (originally known as "Central Committees") have succeeded one another more or less at intervals of four years (with gaps during the two World Wars). The list of their officers and members appears below. This information has been gathered from the following sources:
- Georges de Rham, "L'Enseignement Mathématique — Revue internationale et la Commission internationale de l'enseignement mathématique (CIEM) — Notice historique", ICMI Bulletin 7 (1976) 29-34.
