Course details

Digital-ready Policymaking seeks to reimagine policymaking for the digital age. It emphasises a shift in mindset, encouraging collaborative teamwork and multidisciplinary approaches to bridge the gap between policy design and implementation. This course is intended to provide participants with a thorough understanding of the major components of digital-ready policymaking and how they can be effectively implemented by European Institutions and Member State Administrations.

Target audience

Rudskoy, Andrey & Ilin, Igor & Prokhorov, Andrey. (2021). Digital Twins in the Intelligent Transport Systems. Transportation Research Procedia. 54. 927-935. 10.1016/j.trpro.2021.02.152. 

In this course, learners will be introduced to the concept of Digital Twins, learn how it is applied in manufacturing, and what businesses should consider as they decide to implement this technology. Considerations include information technology infrastructure, the business value of implementing Digital Twins, and what needs to happen across the organization to ensure successful implementation.

Digital twins are virtual replicas of physical objects or systems that are used to better understand, predict, and optimize the performance of their counterpart in the physical world. They are built by integrating many different technologies and are accelerating the digital transformation of government and industry.

This course titled “Digital Twin : A Comprehensive Overview” is designed to provide naive learners to understand the basics of Digital Twin so they can get into either technical or functional nitty gritties of working in the trending domain of Digital Twin.

Digital Services for Europe is a practical strategy-building toolkit that helps ministers, mayors and directors (Chief Digital Officers and Chief Executive Officers) of municipalities and EU Member States to move towards a social and technical roadmap for digital services for all its citizens, in which collaboration at all levels of government and private sector are further enabled.

It aims at realizing user-friendly and cost-effective services that are citizen-centered, where people have insight into and control over their data.

In the video above, Dr Darren Reed outlines the importance of our online identities, and how essential it is that we possess the necessary skills – the digital literacies – required to forge those identities: identities that allow us to participate in online communities.

Digital twin technology may be most commonly thought of in its building visualization form. Moreover, the impression is often that it is exclusive to new, high-end development projects. This session peels back the basics of digital twin and how it can be utilized to optimize building performance and operations in both new and existing buildings.

Energy characterisation of existing buildings at multiple geographical levels (district, city, region) can be used to understand energy use trends.  Moreover, it can correlate the energy consumption to characteristics of the territory and identify specific locations where there are buildings with poor energy performance.
