Interdisciplinary Digital Twin Engine

Further Research

Key interTwin DTE components and know-how being followed up in several projects (EOSC Data Commons, RI-SCALE, ODISSEE, EOSC Beyond)

Specific components are also backed by further collaborative projects such as ESC EOEPCA+ ESA openEO platform, ESA MOOC cubes & clouds, EFRE CRIMA. openEO has been adopted/collaborating with EODC, IBM, DLR, VITO and Collaborations with European Space Agency, EUMETSAT and Ontopic

Core components such as the Infrastructure Manager, OSCAR and other DTE modules integrated in the US Chameleon Cloud Framework under the DIscover-US exchange. OSCAR and interLink have also been incorporated to VEGA for execution as a result of a joint activity with AI4EOSC

yProv has been integrated in the Ophidia framework, itwinai, SQAaaS, OpenEO offering new future opportunities. It is also further developed under EOSC Beyond. Collaboration UNTN and Valentine Anantaraj (ONRL), member of the EEAB on provenance yProv integrated with Infrastructure Manager

Thematic components such as xclim (CERFACS) have been granted follow up national projects (TRACCS, pc4extending) where it is reused on climate extremes use cases (under pc4) and part of climate services (under pc). Service for risk assessment is available under IRISCC project

Some of the DTE components have been incorporated in 2025 to a new set of project proposals (in Horizon Europe and other national initiatives). Any follow up projects granted will be included as success stories granting the continuity of the component or group of components.

Product Creation

DTE as a product. i.e. SW components have been made available for use & reuse – from GitHub and as single components or subset of components. Technical and User documentation has been created and updated for each of the components. Noteworthy to mention the DTE is not a monolithic component, instead follows a modular approach. As such different entry points for the developments / composing workflows are available depending on the needs of the DT. In the final release the number of available components has increased to 49.

Service Creation

During the project the DTE service is prototyped by the deployment of the 10 DT use cases, successfully achieving TRL 6. The thematic modules and the results of the use cases are being adopted by the Research infrastructures. It is planned to further develop environmental digital twins to bring them to full operational services TRL9 in the next 2-3 years.

Digital twinning has been incorporated to EGI strategy 2025-2030 as part of the key service offering to become part of the ESFRI roadmap of Research Infrastructures for which the interTwin has been instrumental.

Key components of the Digital Twin Engine have been incorporated to the creation, enhancement or integrated into EGI services (e.g. EGI Check-in integrated in DTE core components and mapped as TOSCA Templates to be executed by EGI Infrastructure Manager, several DTE core components have been incorporated in the newly created EGI HPC service).

Standardization Activities

Alignment with current standards, as explained in the interoperability deliverable D3.3

Academic Use/ Education & Training

Webinar series have started on the technologies. Specific tutorials have been developed for some core components (itwinai, interLink, openEO). They will be made available from interTwin website, GitHub, interTwin youtube and/or within partners own dissemination channels and webs.

Technology Transfer / Licensing

All DTE components shared under Open Source licenses – facilitating the sharing across partners and the uptake among other projects and SMEs.
