EDITO - European Digital Twin Ocean

The European Commission launched the European Digital Twin of the Ocean (EDITO) at the One Ocean Summit in Brest, France, in February 2022. As a main element of the Digital Ocean Knowledge System under the European Union’s “Mission Restore our Ocean and Waters”, its ambition is to make ocean information readily available to all - international policymakers, national governments, researchers, innovators, businesses, entrepreneurs, activists, and citizens. EDITO will provide an innovative set of user-driven, interactive and decision-making tools, backed by the best science and data. Its core development is underway with the funding from the European Union (EU). The EU will build the infrastructure backbone of EDITO through two projects, namely EDITO-Model Lab and EDITO-Infra. It will further construct and evolve a thriving digital ecosystem through a number of other relevant, complementary actions, aiming for an operational Digital Twin of the Ocean by 2024.
