EU Digital Twin Ocean

The European Digital Twin of the Ocean (EU DTO), launched by the European Commission in February 2022 is the main element of the Digital Ocean Knowledge System under the European Union's "Mission Restore our Ocean and Waters". Its ambition is to make ocean information readily available to all and will provide an innovative set of user-driven, interactive, and decision-making tools, backed by the best science and data. Leveraging on existing European science and assets, the development of the EU DTO's core infrastructure is well underway through the EDITO Horizon Europe projects. EDITO will further construct and evolve a thriving digital ecosystem through other complementary EU initiatives, aiming for an operational EU DTO by end of 2024.
