Project Kick-Off Meeting

The EcoTwin project aims to enhance the European Digital Twin Ocean (EDITO) and local Digital Twins of Ocean (DTOs) by integrating socio-ecological (SE) models, making ocean data and knowledge more accessible for a broad audience, including citizens, entrepreneurs, scientists, and policymakers.

By developing innovative SE models and analysis tools, EcoTwin seeks to improve decision-making and scenario analysis related to ocean health and coastal management.

The Project Kick-Off in Dublin on Tuesday 1st October 2024 will be open to partners and stakeholders to progress with the initiation of the extensive work programme.

If you would like to attend the EcoTwin kickoff meeting virtually, please CONTACT US and we will arrange to send you a link to attend.
