Our aim:

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. 

2

The objectives of the network are to:

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.

3

Our special interest areas:

1. Uncertainty & trust led by Chris Burr (The Alan Turing Institute)

2. Scaling of digital twins led by Jonathan Eyre (AMRC- University of Sheffield)

3. Design & implementation of digital twins led by John Oyekan (York University)

4. Societal impacts led by Jennifer Schooling (Anglia Ruskin University), Paul Cureton (Lancaster University), Negar Ahmadpoor (Anglia Ruskin University)

5. Health led by Naeem Soomro (Newcastle University) and Dewar Finlay (Ulster University).

6. Languages, logic & ontologies for digital twin design, interoperability and analysis (LLODIA) led by Chris Baker, Magda Zajackowska (Loughborough University) and Steffen Zschaler (Kings College London).

7. Human interaction and representation led by Saeema Ahmed-Kristensen (Exeter University)

8. Resilience & security led Tim Watson (The Alan Turing Institute) and Andrew Peck (Loughborough University)

ECR Committee Lead - Matt Bonney (University of Swansea)
