EDITO is the core infrastructure platform of the European Digital Twin Ocean. It offers cutting edge tools to build digital twins, support science-based decision making, and ensure maximum impact for research & innovation actions across the key objectives of the EU Mission Ocean & Waters.
Today the Digital Ocean Forum 2025 is taking place in Brussels to share the advances of the European Digital Twin Ocean platform and further co-design it. Pasquale Pagano, Scientific Coordinator Blue-Cloud 2026 , is joining the event to explain and discuss how Blue-Cloud’s know-how will be harnessed to bridge EDITO to the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC), contributing to support major EU marine date services -such as EMODnet and Copernicus Marine- and related EDITO knowledge assets in driving data provision into EOSC via a dedicated marine thematic node.
Two concrete scientific and technical contributions of the EOSC DTO Node to EDITO are:
- Enabling cross-domain science: The node provides powerful core services — including computing, analytics, spatial data facilities, and a collaborative computing platform — all supported by AAI and resource monitoring. These services ensure interoperability with the EDITO platform and facilitate the use of DTO data and models in collaborative, co-creative workflows. Researchers will be able to combine these resources with other key European datasets and services from the broader European Open Science landscape.
- Strengthening EDITO’s infrastructure: The node connects EDITO to a trusted, secure, and scalable environment for scientific computation and collaboration within EOSC. Through Virtual Labs and interoperable workflows, it offers an open environment where research communities can design, test, and pilot real-life demonstrators for web-based open science. These can then evolve into production-level services that enhance the EDITO modelling framework.
Joining the DOF agenda is strategically important, as it demonstrates the EOSC DTO Node’s commitment to contributing to the ambitious mission of the EU Digital Twin of the Ocean.
