SUMMARY:2nd DestinE Platform Innovation Prize – Ideating the Impact of the DestinE Platform
DESCRIPTION:Introduction to the Challenge\nEnvision a future where everyone\, especially policymakers and decision-makers\, can access a Digital Twin of Earth. This advanced tool could be pivotal in addressing climate change and weather extremes. Consider the types of services it might offer\, who would benefit from them\, and their accessibility. Would these services be universally available\, catered to specific needs\, or both? What kind of data would be integral to their operation? \nThis challenge invites you to conceptualise a service powered by DestinE\, drawing inspiration from a narrative set in 2050. We seek innovative ideas that\, while not necessarily feasible today\, are imaginatively rich and could pave the way to a better future. Join us in envisioning a remarkable 2050\, armed with the solutions to today’s challenges. \nAbout the DestinE Platform Challenge\nDestinE\, a groundbreaking initiative led by the European Commission and implemented by ECMWF\, ESA\, and Eumetsat (3E)\, aims to create a precise global digital twin of Earth. Utilising Earth Observation data\, Big Data\, and Data Lakes\, DestinE aspires to craft a Digital Twin of Earth to assist in climate change mitigation and extreme weather response efforts (https://destination-earth.eu/). \nA key objective is to foster a community of stakeholders and visionaries to co-create the vision for the digital twin. As the technology develops\, community engagement in visualising future possibilities and service mock-ups is crucial to shaping DestinE’s trajectory. \nIn this exclusively online challenge\, participants will dive deep into the realm of DestinE\, guided by the expertise of the 3E members. They will explore and envision how DestinE could beneficially alter the lives of its users. Participants are encouraged to collaborate in teams or work solo to craft visualisations and preliminary mock-ups of potential DestinE services\, imagining a bridge from imaginative concepts to future realities across Europe. Submissions must be original and adhere to a Creative Commons license\, ensuring respect for intellectual property. \nAwards will celebrate the most compelling proposals and visualisations\, evaluating their coherence with the DestinE mission\, their potential to enrich human lives and the environment\, and the ingenuity of the mock-ups. While the technical feasibility and readiness of these ideas will be assessed\, immediate practicality is not a prerequisite. This opens the door for participants to prioritise creativity\, narrative crafting\, and presentation prowess over technical problem-solving\, encouraging a broad spectrum of innovative ideas. \nTimeline\n\n20 March 2024 – Challenge Kickoff\nWatch the recording of the challenge kick-off webinar.\nThere\, you will be able to find out more about the work EUMETSAT\, ECMWF and ESA are doing to make DestinE a reality. Additionally\, the challenge will be presented in greater detail and participants will have an opportunity to interact with the challenge organisers.\n21 April 2024 – Submission deadline\nProposals will be submitted by teams or individuals through the webform here.\nEarly May 2024 – Winner announcement\nFollowing judging of submitted proposals\, winners and runner ups will be contacted and announced on the website.\nEnd of May 2024 – Public presentation of winners\nThe moment to shine\, winners and runner up proposals will have the chance to present their ideas to the DestinE community.\n\nMore information will be made available in the coming weeks. Stay tuned! \nWatch the Challenge Kickoff webinar now

SUMMARY:DestinE at the EGU General Assembly 2024
DESCRIPTION:NOTE: this is based on an article that was originally published on EGU’s website. \nDestination Earth (DestinE) will be organising a session on “Digital Twins of the Earth System” at the European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly 2024 being held in Vienna\, Austria from 14-19 April 2024.  Abstract submissions for the session can be submitted until 10 January\, 13:00 CET. The session will explore the workings of Digital Twins applied to the Earth system and its components and delve into advances in computational capacities\, modeling technologies\, and information systems\, highlighting projects working on developing interactive information systems for simulations. \nThe session will start at 10:45 on Wednesday 17 with a short introduction and will be chaired jointly by ECMWF\, EUMETSAT and ESA. The session will feature 10 on-site presentations on the applied features and uses of the DestinE system and will conclude at 12:30. \nOn the same day\, there will also be an on-site poster session from 16:15 to 18:00\, featuring insights on the Digital Twin Technologies and the Applications and Services of the initiative. \nThe EGU General Assembly is the event of the year for the domain of earth sciences. The conference will bring together key players from industry\, academia and government to showcase the latest advancements in these domains.  EGU24 will be an interactive forum for discussions on the value of geosciences in earth observation and decision-making and policy development concerning climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies. It will additionally provide the opportunity to invite participants to significantly contribute to current developments in the initiative’s progress.  Interested parties can submit an abstract for the session at the dedicated session page. \n\nLearn more\n\n
