The International Centre in Geneva Switzerland was a location for Theosophical activities in Europe, directed initially by Dr. Anna Kamensky.

In 1937, The American Theosophist gave a progress report:

This Center, so long under the care of Madame Kamensky, has now been taken over by the General Council of the Society. Although located at Geneva, the headquarters of the Swiss Section, it has always been an international rather than a Sectional activity, and the General Council has now formally accepted responsibility for it.

The practical work of the Center is to be in charge of a committee of seven, and the President is to appoint a representative in charge. The General Council appropriated $500 toward the expenses of the Center, the balance needed to be raised by the committee.

The General Council also appointed an international committee, of which your general Secretary [[[Sidney A. Cook]]] is one of the ex officio members. This committee has the responsibility of supporting and maintaining interest in this important Center. Those who are interested in the maintenance of a representative Theosophical activity in this heart of Europe should rememember our own responsibility and send contributions to the General Secretary at Wheaton.

Later that year, A. J. Hamerster was appointed by George S. Arundale to head the center, as a successor to Anna Kamensky.
