A global perspective on science, technology and innovation (STI) 

 

The UIS collects R&D data from more than 200 countries and territories through its biennial research and experimental development survey and partnerships with other statistical organizations, such as Eurostat, Red Iberoamericana de Indicadores de Ciencia y Tecnología (RICYT) and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

 

The UIS is also engaged in the dissemination of innovation statistics. The growing number of countries carrying out national innovation surveys, as well as the diversity of subjects covered can be accessed in the UIS Catalogue of Innovation Surveys. Moreover, the Institute has recently established an innovation data collection, which is conducted on a biennial basis, in alternation with the R&D survey.

 

Overall, the aim is to build a comprehensive global database that covers a range of internationally comparable STI indicators, such as R&D expenditure, R&D personnel, gender disparities in diverse fields of science, and the share of innovative firms per country. The data provide a global perspective that is relevant to policymakers on the state of the science and research infrastructure, as well as of the development of innovations in the business sector.
 
To achieve this goal, the Institute works closely with national statisticians to improve data quality at the national and international levels. By explaining how statistics are collected and used in their countries, these statisticians provide the UIS with guidance on constructing methodologies and survey designs.
 
This input is essential as many of the standard instruments used in STI surveys were designed for the world’s most industrialized nations. With the aid of national partners, the UIS is adapting these instruments to better reflect the structures of developing countries and expand the pool of data.

What's New?

New indicators to bridge the gender gap in STEM
The UIS is developing a series of new indicators about the dynamics that shape women’s decisions to pursue STEM careers – from their educational pathways to the social factors, such as starting a family and workplace environment.
R&D survey results now available
The UIS has released new data on the human and financial resources devoted to research and experimental development (R&D) for 157 countries and territories.
UIS launches UNESCO eAtlas of Research and Experimental Development
In the wake of the recent adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which emphasise the critical role of science in development, the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) has launched the eAtlas of Research and Experimental Development.
