Inter-disciplinary research network DTNet+ is a UKRI funded, UK-wide inter-disciplinary research network designed to facilitate research advancements that will contribute to the next generation of intelligent, resilient, and trusted digital twins.

Our Aim is to establish a digital twin Network+ by bringing together an inclusive, diverse & multi-disciplinary UK-wide membership, with research interests in digital twins, that will transform the UK’s national capability in digital twinning. 

1. Facilitate knowledge exchange and stimulate new cross-disciplinary collaborations & innovations for digital twins.

2. Accelerate the development of underpinning academic research that is needed to develop robust, resilient and trusted DTs that can operate at speed and scale.

3. Articulate the challenges & help set the UK digital twin agenda via thought leadership activities.

4. Facilitate explorative (pilot) cross-disciplinary research projects & feasibility studies that stimulate further funding applications and opportunities relating to digital twins.

5. Support outreach, skills development & sustainability for digital twin technology.
