On October 19 and 20, the University of Twente and Digital Twin GeoHub organised their first symposium, "Digital (T)win it". It was organised at the new building of the ITC Faculty, "Langezijds" and it is estimated that a total of 200 people attended the seminar in person and online during its two days.
The seminar was a practical overview of the field of Digital Twins, where cutting-edge 3D technology meets real-world applications. The expert speakers from Academia, Government and Industry shared their insights on the topic, paving the way for a future where technology reshapes our understanding of the physical world around us. The seminar incorporated talks, interactive sessions and games and was divided into two thematic days: Digital Twins Development and Applications.
Two days of interaction
During the first day of this seminar, learners participated in a workshop on Digital Twins and infrastructure, created their own Digital Twin city through gaming and held a panel discussion for fruitful collaborations. During the second day, participants interacted with Digital Twins through a gaming activity, attended open panel discussions and jointly discussed the possibilities with Digital Twins. The event included showcases from Sisi Zlatanova (Sydney), Dessislava Petrova-Antonova, Lidia Vitanova, Stanimira Nikolova (Sofia GATE Institute) and the Netherlands 3D Initiative.
