Research challenges for the use of Big Data in policy-making

The manuscript aims at presenting pertinent research challenges in the field of (Big) data-informed policy-making based on the research, undertaken within the course of the EU-funded project Big Policy Canvas (BPC). Technological advancements, especially in the last decade, have revolutionised the way that both every day and complex activities are conducted. It is thus expected that a particularly important actor, such as the public sector, should constitute a successful disruption paradigm through the adoption of novel approaches and state-of-the-art Information and Communication Technologies (ICT).
