REPORT RELEASE WEBINAR

Foundational Research Gaps And Future Directions For Digital Twins

Across multiple domains of science, engineering, and medicine, excitement is growing about the potential of digital twins to transform scientific research, industrial practices, and many aspects of daily life. A digital twin couples computational models with a physical counterpart to create a system that is dynamically updated through bidirectional data flows as conditions change. Going beyond traditional simulation and modeling, digital twins could enable improved medical decision-making at the individual patient level, predictions of future weather and climate conditions over longer timescales, and safer, more efficient engineering processes. However, many challenges remain before these applications can be realized.
 
Please join the National Academies for a webinar on Friday, December 15, 2023 from 11am-12pm ET to explore our new report on the foundational research and resources needed to support the development of digital twin technologies. The report identifies critical future research priorities and presents an interdisciplinary research agenda for the field, including how federal agencies and researchers across domains can best collaborate. During the webinar, members of the committee will discuss the report’s key findings and recommendations and take questions from the audience.
