BioDT project Final Event, in collaboration with DestinE

The final event of the BioDT Project, in collaboration with Destination Earth (DestinE), will take place on 3 April 2025 at Spazio Europa in Rome with online participation. This hybrid event will highlight BioDT’s key results, demonstrating its role in the European Commission’s Digital Twin strategy and will discuss possibilities to integrate within the DestinE ecosystem. It will also serve as a platform for discussions on sustainability, interoperability, and the future of BioDT within European research infrastructures and data spaces. Attendees will engage in strategic discussions, scientific presentations, panel debates on infrastructure and data sustainability, and live demonstrations of prototype Digital Twins (pDTs) developed during the project.

Discussions will delve into how BioDT might integrates with the DestinE ecosystem, focusing on interoperability and the technical capabilities of the DestinE platformSelf-standing DestinE system component, interfacing with the More. The event will also showcase real-world applications of BioDT’s prototype Digital Twins in biodiversity monitoring, such as forecasting species responses to environmental and land-use changes, tracking the dynamics of invasive species to support policy decisions, improving biodiversity mapping through genetic data analysis, and modelling species interactions and their impact on ecosystems.
