The Biodiversity Digital Twin: a new solution to support protection and restoration of ecosystems

The BioDT project aims to bring together a dynamic team of experts in biodiversity, High-Performance Computing, Artificial Intelligence, digital twinning and FAIR data to develop a Biodiversity Digital Twin prototype to push the current boundaries of predictive understanding of biodiversity dynamics. 

In order to present the work BioDT is bringing forward, the project team held its 1st webinar on 13 July 2022, with the aim of showing the project’s objectives and goals, and its interaction with the LUMI Supercomputer, fundamental for building its modelling and simulation capabilities.
