New benefits of knowledge

The op-ed observes that the ethical use of science has always benefited citizens, and it presents new benefits that citizens can nowadays derive from research on the effectiveness of public policies, thanks to the safe access to linked public registries. It gives account of experiences in this field in different European countries, it highlights the roles of the scientific community, and it argues that each country could experience positive effects via learning about the effectiveness of public policies in other European countries.
