UNESCO Institute for Statistics
- Established in 1999, the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) was designed to meet both the needs of UNESCO Member States and to provide the international community with a wide range of statistical information in order to "analyze the efficiency and effectiveness of their programmes and to inform their policy decisions." The UIS is hosted by the University of Montreal, and performs work around four primary themes, including education, literacy, culture & communication, and science & technology.
