RESEARCH TOPIC 4
A smarter and more sustainable Northeastern Italy through Digital Twins.
There are countless fields in which Digital Twins stand out for their efficiency and simulation speed. One notable example is the field of medicine, where time plays a critical role: traditional simulations of physiological processes, such as modeling the human heart and circulatory system, often require weeks of computation on high-performance supercomputers. However, with the integration of Digital Twins, this time frame can be reduced to just a few hours.
Research Topic 4 (RT4) aims to design and deploy demonstrative applications of Digital Twins, revolutionizing key sectors in Northeastern Italy: from port management to personalized medicine, from urban planning to environmental monitoring. These emerging technologies thus help foster a future in which digitalization plays a central role in driving sustainable development and societal well-being.
Coordination
Research Topic 4 is led by the National Institute of Oceanography and Experimental Geophysics (OGS). The International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA), the University of Padua (UniPD), and the University of Trieste (UniTS) are also involved in RT4.
