DestinE Community

The initiative actively involves users and community members in the co-design, development and use of Destination Earth. By joining the DestinE community, members will receive regular newsletters, summarising the latest progress and updates on the project as well as information on upcoming events, procurement opportunities, and much more.

Become part of the DestinE co-designing process

The ambitious goal of building a Digital Twin of our planet requires collaboration. By adopting a user-centric approach, DestinE seeks to meet needs of a wide range of users and promote knowledge and expertise sharing.

Policy & decision makers respond to the needs of a society that is under incredible pressures.

DestinE supports them by providing data-driven tools to make better informed decisions.

Scientists highlight the state-of-the-art models and technologies and design a roadmap for scientific exploration to advance our knowledge of the Earth system.

DestinE builds upon worldwide scientific exploitation to develop cutting-edge capabilities.

Industry provide innovative technical solutions as well as a robust and scalable operationalization of services.

DestinE provides several opportunities for collaboration, through both procured activities and in-kind contributions.

Why do we need an engaged Community?

By establishing a strong (both in terms of numbers of members and interactions) and vibrant DestinE Community, we aim to inform the successful and well targeted development and initial operations of DestinE as well as guide the evolution of the initiative in later phases.

As many of the communities related to DestinE exist already, our approach is to harness their potential and build upon their foundations.

Not only we aspire to capitalise on their collective knowledge, but we also seek to align with the interests and needs of their members to drive the formation of a wide and diverse DestinE Community.


DestinE Community will lead to the creation of a Community of Practice of Digital Twins of Earth Systems where continuous interactions amongst different types of users will enhance the development and improvement of DestinE capabilities, but also catalyse cross-sectorial collaborations and offer opportunities for continuous exchange.
