Our Mission
We aspire to:
- dismantle the barrier between society and scientific knowledge
- equip the public with the ability to understand and engage in scientific discussions
- and inspire people to think about science in their everyday lives
Despite many people being interested in science, few feel adequately informed in scientific topics they are interested in.

In 2018, PISA was administered in 791 countries and education systems, including all 37 member countries of the OECD. PISA 2018 results are reported by average scale score (from 0 to 1,000)
