Our Vision

The International Statistical Institute (ISI) is the one and only outstanding independent international statistical organization. 

We set the global standard for ethical practice in statistics. 

We connect our members and share the most recent developments in statistical techniques and practices. 

We offer high quality scientific content and support the development of statisticians from all over the world.

Independent International Statistical Organization

The International Statistical Institute (ISI) is a non-profit, non-government organization. 

The ISI is unmatched in its global reach among statisticians and those interested in the field of statistics. We are an association which connects to many international and national organizations, including national statistical societies, with a special focus on organizations in or supporting developing regions of the world. A majority of the world’s central bureaus of statistics and many central banks are represented within the ISI network of institutional and corporate members. 

Since 1949 we have had consultative status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations (ECOSOC).
