A major ICMI program is the series of ICMI Studies.

Each Study focuses on a topic or issue of prominent current interest in mathematics education. Built around an international conference, it is directed towards the preparation of a published volume intended to promote and assist discussion and action at the international, regional or institutional level. 

The main emphasis of a given Study may be on analytical or action-oriented aspects, but some analytical component will always be present.
