BioDT

BioDT is proud to participate in the #DestinE 3rd Destination Earth User eXchange event. 🌍 Our team is in Darmstadt, Germany, showcasing our latest work on #biodiversity data integration and #digitaltwin systems. We've had a great reception for our poster and are excited to answer your questions. Read more and download our poster here: https://lnkd.in/dSuf3xEh #DestinationEarthUsereXchange

🌾 Invasive alien species (IAS) pose a significant global threat to #biodiversity, ecosystems, human well-being, and economies. Their impact is expected to intensify with #climatechange and land-use alterations. Current static modelling approaches for #IAS create a problematic lag between projections and policy actions. 🎯 To address this, researchers from BioDT have developed a prototype #DigitalTwin for tracking invasive alien plant species across Europe. This innovative tool predicts the location and extent of potential invasions under current and future climate scenarios. Operating at the habitat level, it provides dynamic projections that update automatically with new data. 👉 The system follows #FAIR principles, making its data findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable. An interactive dashboard offers free access to all input and output data for researchers and policymakers.

📃 To further advance the development and reliability of Biodiversity #DigitalTwins, the BioDT team has produced 10 scientific papers, compiled in the "Building Biodiversity Digital Twins" issue of the open-science scholarly Research Ideas and Outcomes RIO Journal. 🌾 If you're passionate about innovative solutions for climate action and sustainable ecosystems, these papers and the last press release of BioDT are must-reads. 👁️🗨️ Discover how BioDT is shaping the future of #biodiversity management and contributing to key UN Sustainable Development Goals. Don't miss out on this fascinating glimpse into the future of environmental science! Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eeyy5za3 #SDGs #digitaltwin

🤔 What if we could track down wild crops with the same genetic composition as that of highly-consumed crops? 🍄 Or track and monitor changes of habitats of less-researched species like legumes and fungi? In their latest press release, the BioDT team highlighted how their ten prototype #digitaltwins are answering such questions and addressing a range of other aspects related to nature’s ecosystem as well. 🗞 The press release includes the most recent developments in the team’s cross-disciplinary efforts to map out environmental change, including producing ten scientific papers in the “Building Biodiversity Digital Twins” issue of the journal Research Ideas and Outcomes (RIO). As leaders of  Work Package 2, responsible for communicating the latest activities and discoveries from the BioDT team, it is important to showcase these project highlights to build the BioDT community, promote #biodiversity in general and further demonstrate the efforts underpinning digital modelling innovations. 💡 Learn more about recent #BioDT updates and overall role in preserving nature’s biodiversity: https://lnkd.in/esNacakb

Next week, the BioDT team heads to Darmstadt for the 3rd Destination Earth User eXchange! 🌍🔬 We're excited to contribute to discussions on #digitaltwin interoperability and showcase our latest work. This event is a crucial platform for shaping the future of Earth system modelling and sustainable development. By bringing together experts from across Europe, we're fostering collaboration that's vital for addressing global environmental challenges. 💁♀️📊 Don't miss our poster presentation and insights on integrating #biodiversity into comprehensive Earth models!

Collaboration is key! 🤝 BioDT is committed to working together with other #digitaltwin projects to create a unified framework for architecture, glossary, and interoperability. We were proud to be represented at the #EGI2024, not only through our own team members, Thomas Geenen and Paolo Pileggi, but also through our partner projects like DT-GEO. Together, we're making strides in advancing #digitaltwins #technology and its applications. Learn more about our partnership with DT-GEO: https://lnkd.in/e46_2J7f

Today's the day! The #EGI2024 has kicked off in Lecce, Italy! 🎉 This annual gathering brings together experts from all around the world to discuss data-intensive research and innovation. What's hot this year? 🔥 #Digitaltwins! BioDT's Paolo Pileggi from TNO and Thomas Geenen from Copernicus ECMWF will share their insights on how this technology can revolutionise #biodiversity conservation and environmental management. Don't miss their talks: 👉 15:30 Thomas Geenen on "Interoperability between Digital Twins in the Green Deal initiative" 👉 17:45 Paolo Pileggi on "A path to future-compatibility to navigate the complexity of integrating AI-powered virtual sensing in Digital Twin" Read more here: https://lnkd.in/d_MhzZcg

🤝 🇪🇺 European research initiatives, including BioDT, convened at the Science Summit 2024 in New York as part of #UNGA79 to showcase our collective efforts in biodiversity conservation. Our combined voice, representing communities from #biodiversity 🐾 , ecology 🌳 and engineering fields 🔢 , aims to strengthen science, technology, and innovation efforts to achieve the #UN Sustainable Development Goals. We're aligning our work with the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework to accelerate progress on #SDGs. Our objectives include promoting #FAIR and #CARE principles in #biodiversity #datamanagement, leveraging #digitaltwins for ecosystem modelling, and strengthening the links between biodiversity and health. 🌎 We're committed to enhancing biodiversity monitoring, management, and protection through multi-disciplinary approaches, supporting research at all levels of biological organisation, and developing technologies for data sharing and integration. Our initiatives also focus on creating models for climate and land-use changes, building digital twins for informed decision-making, and providing training for innovative tools. We're calling for an international alliance to prioritise biodiversity in the post-SDG agenda and invite stakeholders to join us in shaping a sustainable future.

Let's make science work for our planet! 🌱🔬 The BioDT project is heading to New York 🍎🌿 Join us at the Science Summit UNGA79 in New York City, where Gabriela Zuquim from CSC - IT Center for Science will be showcasing how BioDT is supporting biodiversity conservation. 🌍🔬 This three-week summit, running from September 10-27, 2024, brings together scientific minds from across the globe to tackle the world's biggest challenges. The workshop scheduled on September 26 will dive into how digital twins and cutting-edge tech are shaping the future of ecology. The focus is on the emerging properties they present as a network rather than as individual organisations, projects or initiatives. EU projects like DTO BioFlow, EOSC initiatives like EOSC Future, EOSC Beyond, and research infrastructures like LifeWatch ERIC, DiSCCo, and EMBRC-ERIC will be featured! 🚀 Don't miss this chance to be part of the conversation on science, sustainability, and innovation. Whether you're joining us in person or tuning in online, this is your opportunity to see how BioDT is contributing to a greener, more sustainable future. Read more: https://lnkd.in/dChFEYyy
