International Digital Twins of the Ocean Summit

Endorsed by the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030), the Digital Twins of the Ocean (DITTO) programme was launched in 2021. The vision of the DITTO Programme is to build a world where digital twins of the ocean (DTOs) are used to support ocean protection, ocean governance, and a sustainable Blue Economy. DITTO is dedicated to developing and sharing a common understanding of DTOs; establishing best practices in the development of DTOs; and advancing a digital framework for DTOs to empower ocean professionals from all sectors around the world, including scientific users, to effectively create their digital twins.

This Summit will consist of interconnected sessions covering:

1. advancing DTOs architectures and interoperability
2. innovation of the predictive engines taking advantage of AI and ML opportunities
3. sharing, visualising and accessing DTOs information
4. showcasing the power of existing DTOs
