Lecce, Italy

The annual EGI Conference, a well-known event in the field of data-intensive processing and analytics, is set to take place from 30th September to 4th October, 2024 in Lecce, Italy. This gathering brings together international scientific communities, computing and service providers, European projects, security experts, community managers, and policymakers to drive research and innovation forward. 

The conference provides a safe and open environment for in-depth discussions, new insights, and networking opportunities. Of particular interest this year is a dedicated session on digital twins, featuring contributions from the BioDT project representatives.

EGI2024

The EGI Conference serves as a crucial platform for advancing data-intensive research and innovation across various scientific domains. It facilitates knowledge exchange, collaboration, and the development of cutting-edge solutions in scientific computing. The focus on digital twins in this year's conference underscores the growing importance of this technology in replicating and predicting complex systems. The event's significance lies in its ability to bring together diverse stakeholders, fostering interdisciplinary approaches to tackle global challenges and drive scientific progress.

BioDT's Role at the EGI2024

The BioDT project will have a notable presence at the EGI Conference, with two key representatives participating. Paolo Pileggi from TNO and Thomas Geenen from ECMWF will join the conference, contributing their expertise to the discussions on digital twins. 

Thomas Geenen will present on "Interoperability between Digital Twins in the Green Deal initiative" during the session "Replicating and predicting complex systems with scientific Digital Twins" on October 1st at 15:30. This presentation will explore the progress in enabling Earth System digital twins and Green Deal initiative digital twins to operate together on a digital twin platform. Geenen will delve into the processes, technical implementation, and ontology alignment necessary for interoperability between digital twin systems from different communities and initiatives. 

Later in the day, at 17:45, Dr. Paolo Pileggi will deliver a short talk titled "A path to future-compatibility to navigate the complexity of integrating AI-powered virtual sensing in Digital Twin." Pileggi's presentation will focus on the challenges of adapting Digital Twin technology to varying user needs, particularly in environments where data, models, and objectives are shared across different domains and organisations.

These contributions from the BioDT project representatives highlight the project's role in advancing digital twin technology and its applications in biodiversity conservation and environmental management, aligning with the conference's broader goals of promoting innovation in data-intensive research.
