ESA Digital Twin Earth Components: Open Science Meeting 2026

2nd – 4th February 2026
ESA ESRIN
The event will feature demonstrations of the latest developments of ESA DTE Digital Twin Components and is designed to facilitate discussions between scientists, research institutions, policymakers, innovators, industry, stakeholders, ESA DTE activities, European and national Digital Twin initiatives.

Participants are invited to share their experience and contribute to shape the future evolution of the use of Earth Observation (EO) in the context of Digital Twins in Europe.

The objectives of the event are to:

  • Present the latest developments of ESA DTE Digital Twin Components and related activities.
  • Engage with stakeholders and identify their needs, requirements and feedback in relation to Digital Twin capabilities for their activities.
  • Share the latest research and scientific results in EO, AI, modelling and technology contributing to advance Digital Twin capabilities.
  • Identify common priorities, standards and interoperability aspects across Digital Twin activities.
  • Foster community building and trigger collaborative research across projects and initiatives.
  • Assessing challenges and opportunity in the use of EO data for Digital Twins.
  • Contribute to defining a community Science and R&D agenda to advance in the effective use of EO data in Digital Twins.

ESA Digital Twin Earth Components: Open Science Meeting

3-5 February
Frascati, Italy
There is an undeniable urgency to act on climate change and to effectively respond to the unprecedented ‘triple crisis’ of climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution. This requires a quantum leap in the way we observe, understand and predict the dynamic evolution of the Earth system and its complex interactions with human activities and ecosystems. Digital Twins have recently emerged as potential solutions to address these needs.
