“And they lived happily ever after.” This familiar ending captures something most people ultimately want: a long and happy life. The WISER dashboard takes this ambition as its starting point. Its central outcome indicator, happy life years, combines life expectancy with how positively people evaluate their lives. It asks whether better living conditions translate into longer, happier lives.

The dashboard looks beyond economic growth to compare wellbeing across European regions, show how it has changed over time, and explore the conditions that support a good life. Use these insights to understand how your region is doing and identify where improvements are needed.

The dashboard provides information on the state of regions and tooling how to prioritize policy domains. More info on the WISER project can be found on: www.wiserhorizons.eu
