The interTwin project Digital Twin Engine and the alignment with Destination Earth

The Horizon Europe interTwin project is developing a highly generic yet powerful Digital Twin Engine (DTE) to support interdisciplinary Digital Twins (DT). Comprising thirty-one high-profile scientific partner institutions, the project brings together infrastructure providers, technology providers, and DT use cases from Climate Research and Environmental Monitoring, High Energy and AstroParticle Physics, and Radio Astronomy. This group of experts enables the co-design of the DTE Blueprint Architecture and the prototype platform;benefiting end users like scientists and policymakers but also DT developers. It achieves this by significantly simplifying the process of creating and managing complex Digital Twins workflows.

As part of our contribution, we'll share the latest updates on our project, including the DTE Blueprint Architecture, whose second version is being released in January 2024.  The interTwin Blueprint components, thanks to the collaboration with ECMWF partner in the project, are designed to be aligned with what Destination Earth is designing and building. Therefore, we will show the activities carried out by the project to analyse DestinE architecture and the points of interoperability foreseen. 

The contribution will also cover the diverse DT use cases we currently support and describe the first software release planned for February 2024. 

InterTwin is funded by the European Union (Horizon Europe) under grant agreement No 101058386.
