BioDT School and Hackathon

Building Digital Twins : The BioDT Experience

The BioDT School and Hackathon will take place from March 3-7, 2025, at the heel of Italian Peninsula – in the city of Lecce, Italy. This unique event is designed for students, early-career researchers, and professionals interested in unlocking skills in digital modelling, and interested in latest innovation practices in biodiversity.

Whether you are new to the concept of Digital Twins or looking to deepen your knowledge, this is the perfect opportunity to engage with leading experts and learn how digital twins are developed, especially through the lenses of BioDT use cases. Register for the BioDT School and Hackathon today!

What is BioDT?

The Biodiversity Digital Twin (BioDT) project is at the forefront of creating Digital Twins (DTs) for biodiversity. A Digital Twin is a virtual model of real-world entities and ecosystems, enabling detailed simulation and analysis. BioDT uses cutting-edge technologies like High-Performance Computing (HPC), FAIR data principles, and open APIs to model biodiversity in unprecedented ways. This approach helps predict biodiversity trends, inform conservation strategies, and support sustainable development
