The UIS Data Browser of the UNESCO Institute for Statistics is an interactive platform for exploring and analyzing global data across education, science, innovation, culture, and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Users can filter, compare, visualize, and contextualize datasets — from individual indicators to cross-country time series.

Data can be displayed flexibly as charts, maps, or tables, shared, and exported in common formats such as CSV or Excel. Enriched metadata provides additional context and supports accurate interpretation. The Data Browser is built on a high-performance, scalable system architecture that enables fast data queries, structured metadata, and seamless connectivity to interactive visualizations. This ensures that large volumes of data can be processed efficiently and delivered in an intuitive format for analysis.

As a central resource, the UIS Data Browser empowers researchers, policymakers, institutions, and the public to understand global progress and challenges through data-driven, evidence-based insights.
