Destination 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.

The session will start at 10:45 on Wednesday 17 with a short introduction and will be chaired jointly by ECMWFEuropean Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts More, 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.

On 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.

The 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.
