Across Europe, governments are experimenting with new ways of using everyday data to understand society and improve people’s lives. In the Netherlands, a national infrastructure called ODISSEI has become a testbed for what can happen when information from different parts of life – like work, family, health and neighbourhood – is brought together safely to answer big social questions. 

In this episode, Tom Emery, Executive Director of ODISSEI, joins us to explore what the UK can learn from the Dutch experience: how to make better use of data to improve lives, while never losing sight of the risks and responsibilities that come with it.
