This event marked a pivotal moment for engaging with the DEUC team\, tasked with integrating user recommendations into the evolving DestinE platform. \nThe DestinE (DESP) Use Cases Project\, DEUC in short\, represents a focused segment of the broader DestinE initiative. One of the main activities of DEUC is to engage with the DestinE community in relation to the DestinE Platform. Therefore it uniquely benefits from the rich tapestry of insights and experiences across the entire DestinE community. This meeting provided an in-depth exploration of the following key areas: \n\nThe DEUC vision: Uncover the guiding purpose and ambitions behind the collection of user recommendations\, illuminating the path towards a more inclusive and responsive DestinE platform.\nCommunity Landscape: Understand the dynamic ecosystem of the DestinE community\, identifying current challenges\, opportunities\, and the collective journey towards shared goals.\nStrategic Approach: Delve into the strategic framework designed to nurture an environment brimming with engagement\, support\, and collaboration\, enabling every member to flourish.\nFoundational Principles and Processes: Discover the core values and methodologies that sustain the DEUC mission and the broader community’s ethos\, ensuring a cohesive and purpose-driven collaboration.\nCommunities of Practice: Learn about the establishment of specialized groups to deepen collaboration\, knowledge exchange\, and skill enhancement within specific areas of interest\, driving forward the mission with focused expertise.\nEngagement Opportunities: Find out how you can actively participate\, bringing your unique insights to the table and contributing to the ongoing development and direction of the DestinE Platform and DestinE community fabric.\n\nThis session was designed to be much more than a simple briefing. DEUC is committed to creating a space for meaningful dialogue and interactive engagement. \nWatch the Recording\n  \nSee the live interaction results\nSee the Slido poll results and event presentation for more details.

SUMMARY:NWP at the crossroads: How the Quiet\, Digital and Data-Driven Revolutions are shaping the future of NWP
DESCRIPTION:Director of DestinE Irina Sandu (ECMWF) will lead this episode of the European Meteorological Society’s webinar series\, delving into the revolutions shaping Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP). \nNumerical weather prediction (NWP) stands at a pivotal juncture\, influenced by three transformative revolutions. These revolutions\, akin to converging roads\, are reshaping the landscape of Earth system prediction. \n\nQuiet Revolution: Leveraging improved modeling\, observations\, and computational power\, it has propelled NWP forward\, constantly enhancing prediction quality.\nDigital Revolution: Enabled by modern supercomputing\, it has ushered in a new era of high-resolution simulations\, unravelling localized phenomena with unprecedented fidelity.\nMachine Learning Revolution: Compact\, cost-effective machine-learned models recently emerged as formidable contenders of traditional ones\, reimagining NWP boundaries.\n\nThese revolutions will be illustrated using examples from past and recent efforts at ECMWF\, including from the ambitious Destination Earth initiative of the European Commission aiming to develop Digital Twins of the Earth System. Looking ahead\, the future of NWP and more generally of Earth system prediction capabilities lies in synergising these revolutions\, steering us towards a future where predictions are not only increasingly precise but also accessible to all. \nRegister here

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.
