Integration of existing data, models, and applications into EDITO

About the EDITO 2Project

EDITO is the core infrastructure of the European Digital Twin Ocean. As a free, public platform, it offers the marine science and data community access to cutting-edge tools for developing digital twins, making science-based decisions, and maximizing the impact of research and innovation actions across the key objectives of the EU Mission Restore Our Ocean & Waters: protect biodiversity, stop marine pollution, and support a sustainable blue economy. It also promotes co-creation and openness, inviting contributions from diverse communities to enrich the platform and towards the co-construction of the European Digital Twin Ocean.
In its current phase (2025-2028), the Horizon Europe-funded EDITO2 project seeks to enhance the platform’s services for researchers and institutional contributors and grow the community of projects and initiatives harnessing EDITO, towards co-creating a fully operational European Digital Twin Ocean. These efforts will help consolidate the foundation of the European Digital Twin Ocean through the co-creation of an operational, interoperable, and scalable infrastructure.
