Green Deal Data Space | GREAT Project

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us today, both in-person and online, for the final event of the GREAT Project at the Press Club in Brussels. Your support and engagement made it an unforgettable experience! The event marked the conclusion of our 20-month journey with the Green Deal Data Space Preparatory Action (express your interest in the deployment here https://go.egi.eu/YnH74). It was a pleasure to showcase the milestones, key findings, and collaborative achievements of our consortium and the Community of Practice. Your participation and enthusiasm have been instrumental in making the GREAT Project a success. We look forward to continuing this journey together as we embrace the future of green data and sustainability. Stay tuned for more updates and let's keep the conversation going!

🌍 Today, the initial Destination Earth system has been activated! 🌍 This flagship initiative of the European Commission aims to develop a highly accurate digital twin of the Earth, powered by unprecedented modelling capabilities of EU supercomputers and Artificial Intelligence. Deployment of the DestinE system means that the Europe's High-performance computers (EuroHPC), including the LUMI supercomputer in Kajaani, Finland, have been tasked to simulate the effects of climate change and extreme weather events. Thanks to this initiative, Europe will be better prepared to respond to major natural disasters, adapt to climate change and assess the potential socioeconomic and policy impacts of such events. DestinE also represents a key component of the European strategy for data by consolidating access to valuable sources of data across Europe. The system is now operational and it is expected to continuously evolve, extending operations and developing further components. By 2030, DestinE should complete a full digital replica of the Earth.
