The Inter-American Congress of Rectors, Deans, and Educators, meeting in Havana in 1930, adopted a measure calling for the establishment of a National Council of Intellectual Cooperation in each of the member republics. The functions of the councils were to collect and disseminate information regarding institutions of learning and research, encourage cultural exchange programs, and organize cooperative research projects.
