How to Build Digital Twins of the Ocean: Challenges and Opportunities in Setting Up Pilot Sites
Course Overview
This course combines theoretical foundations with practical tools, offering a holistic view, from problem identification and stakeholder engagement to co-designing solutions and managing ocean-related data.
You will gain insights into architectural foundations needed to build robust digital twin systems, including data integration, model simulation, and scalable application packaging. The course highlights the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and enables you to design solutions that are both technically sound and tailored to the users' needs.
The course also aims to facilitate the understanding of digital twins’ role in marine ecosystem management, policy development, and sustainable innovation.
Course Objectives:
Understand the purpose and applications of a DTO.
Define the problem the DTO will address and align it with the pilot site's needs.
Identify and engage key stakeholders in the DTO development process.
Develop a sustainable business model, including co-design and licensing.
Navigate scaling strategies, from tech transfer to securing additional funding.
Implement effective data capture, management, and interoperability practices, including citizen science contributions.
Grasp essential architecture and technology requirements, with practical examples for pilot site deployment.
Market the DTO and communicate its value through platforms like the Iliad Marketplace.
