DestinE Platform

The DestinE Platform is the entry point to Destination Earth, providing an open ecosystem of services that enable users to discover, access and exploit the DestinE data and resources. Destination Earth (DestinE) is a European Union funded initiative, with the aim to build a digital replica of the Earth system to model, monitor and simulate natural phenomena, hazards and the related human activities. The initiative is being jointly implemented by three entrusted entities: the European Space Agency (ESA), responsible for building the ‘Core Service Platform’, the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), responsible for the creation of the first two ‘digital twins’ and the ‘Digital Twin Engine’, and the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT), responsible for the creation of the ‘Data Lake’. The DestinE Platform, implemented by ESA and developed by a consortium of industrial partners, integrates and operates an open ecosystem of services in an open and secure cloud environment to support DestinE data exploitation, with the aim to meet the needs of a large and diverse community, that includes citizens, scientists and academics, commercial entities, and policy makers. The DestinE Platform additionally provides onboarding support for integrating external services and resources, making the ecosystem flexible, scalable, and easily adapted to the community needs.
