ILIAD
Objective
ILIAD aims to establish an interoperable, data-intensive, and cost-effective Digital Twin of the Ocean (DTO) that will allow to configure the ocean simulators for what-if scenarios. The framework will be based on digital technologies compatible with Destination Earth, based on high-resolution numerical ocean models, available ocean observation data, as well as digital analysis toolboxes. The combination of geovisualisation, immersive visualization and virtual or augmented reality allows users to explore, synthesize, present, and analyze the underlying geospatial data in an interactive manner. Plus, the enabling technology of the ILIAD DTO will contribute to the implementation of the EU’s Green Deal and Digital Strategy, as well as achieving the UN Ocean Decade's outcomes and Sustainable Development Goals.
To promote additional applications through the ILIAD DTO, the partners will create the ILIAD Marketplace. Like an app store, providers will use the ILIAD Marketplace to distribute apps, plug-ins, interfaces, raw data, citizen science data, synthesized information, and value-adding services derived from the ILIAD DTO.
WavEC Results
Sustained on agile methodology, WavEC leads the co-designing process of the individual Digital Twins of the Ocean, alongside with the implementation of the System of Systems (SoS) architectural framework. In parallel, within the pipeline architecture, WavEC is responsible for the development of the offshore wind farms and ocean energy pilots.
WavEC will work towards improving the key connection between internal users and boosting stakeholder engagement, as well as participate in dissemination and communication activities throughout the project.
