Digital twins in European research projects: connecting science, policy and practice

In European research projects, digital twins serve as collaborative digital environments that connect scientific results with real-world contexts. They bring together geospatial data and validated research outputs into an interactive platform where environmental information can be explored in a clear and spatially grounded way.
Our digital twins are designed as co-creation platforms.They integrate and visualise existing scientific knowledge, creating a shared space where researchers, public authorities and local stakeholders can engage, discuss scenarios and support informed decision-making. In this way, the digital twin becomes a bridge between science, policy and practice.
