Since December 2007, ICMI News is the Electronic Newsletter of the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction (ICMI). Since 2022, it is published four times per year on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15.
Each International Congress on Mathematical Education results in a book of Proceedings, and sometimes other publications as well.
All complete digital versions of the Proceedings of ICME congresses can be found here :

ICMI has two selection committees for the three ICMI Awards.
As a tangible sign of recognition, each awardee receives a certificate and a medal.
On the front of each medal can be seen
whose names were given to the awards. (See the ICMI Bulletin No. 51, December 2002, pp. 14-15, for brief information on Felix Klein an Hans Freundenthal two eminent scholars and past presidents of ICMI and also their cameos accessible on the ICMI history website.)
Felix Klein Award for life-time academic achievement in mathematics education
Hans Freudenthal Award for an individual’s outstanding program of mathematics education research
The Hans Freudenthal Award is aimed at acknowledging and honoring an outstanding scholar who has initiated a new research program and brought it to maturation over the past 10 years. The research program is one that has had and will continue to have an impact on our community. In brief, the criteria for this award are depth, novelty, sustainability, and impact of the research program.
The Emma Castelnuovo Award recognizes outstanding achievements in the practice of mathematics education. The Award was established in 2013 by the ICMI EC to reflect the ICMI principles to “development of mathematical education at all levels” and “to promote the reflection, collaboration, exchange and dissemination of ideas on the teaching and learning of mathematics, from primary to university level,". The award is named after the Italien mathematics educator, born in 1913 to celebrate her 100th birthday and honour her pioneering work.
The International Commission on Mathematical Instruction (ICMI) grants three prizes recognizing outstanding achievement in mathematics education which are awarded every four years at the Opening Ceremony of the International Congress on Mathematical Education (ICME).
From its beginning, ICMI has been involved in the project of the international mathematics exhibition Experiencing Mathematics!, initiated and supported by UNESCO and developed by the Centre de culture scientifique, technique et industrielle (CCSTI) of the Région Centre-Orléans in France, together with Tokay University (Tokyo) and the Ateneo de Manila University (Philippines).
This interactive exhibition is intended to show to all visitors that mathematics
The ICMI Executive Committee decided in its February 2011 meeting to initiate the Database Project, the ultimate goal of which was to build and update a database of the mathematics curricula in countries all over the world. For the first phase of this project, all ICMI Country Representatives were asked to provide a link to the webpage(s) of their country where anybody could find the official mathematics curricula at all levels of instruction (pre-primary, primary, elementary, middle, secondary, vocational, etc.). Over the years, ICMI gathered information for nearly 50 countries.
