Abstract
Suspending the IMU did not mean the end of organized international collaboration in mathematics. As before, International Congresses of Mathematicians would be held every four years. The Zurich Congress accepted the Norwegian invitation to hold the ICM-1936 in Oslo and decided to award there for the first time two gold medals (later called Fields Medals) for outstanding achievement in mathematics. The International Commission on the Teaching of Mathematics worked well and in good spirit until the outbreak of the Second World War.
