The DestinE User eXchange provides a collaborative space to explore how DestinE platforms, data and digital twins are being used in practice. The programme focuses on real-world applications, user needs, and hands-on experiences, fostering dialogue between technology providers and users across sectors.
Through interactive sessions, demonstrations and discussions, participants can exchange feedback, identify challenges, and highlight opportunities to improve usability, accessibility and impact of DestinE services.
Why it matters for TerraDT
For TerraDT, the User eXchange is a crucial opportunity to engage directly with the communities that will ultimately benefit from its developments.
The event enables:
- User-driven insights: understanding how different stakeholders interact with digital twins and what is needed to support decision-making.
- Validation of use cases: testing TerraDT’s impact models and components against real user expectations and workflows.
- Stronger integration with DestinE: aligning TerraDT developments with platform capabilities, services and evolving user requirements.
TerraDT’s role
At the DestinE User eXchange, TerraDT contributes its expertise in high-resolution Earth system modelling and impact-oriented digital twin components. By engaging with users and other DestinE initiatives, the project helps ensure that its outputs are not only scientifically robust, but also usable, relevant, and impactful for real-world climate adaptation and resilience challenges.
