Israel’s research ecosystem enables the large-scale integration of Big Data with deep, theory-driven developmental research. This approach generates rich, fine-grained insights into children’s developmental trajectories that are rarely achievable elsewhere. Translating these insights into national tools and policies, however, requires moving beyond research settings into complex, real-world systems. Along this path, challenges emerge around scalability, data integration, ethics, and alignment between scientific evidence and policy implementation.
