Building a highly accurate digital replica
of the Earth
Destination Earth is a flagship initiative of the European Commission to develop a highly accurate digital model of the Earth to monitor and simulate natural phenomena, hazards and the related human activities.
DestinE Platform
Your gateway to a sustainable future
Entry point to DestinE
The DestinE Platform is the cloud-based entry point to DestinE, providing users, applications and service providers with direct access to the data and functionalities from the Digital Twin Engine and the Data Lake.
Diverse community of users
The platform aims to meet the needs of a large and diverse community, that includes citizens, scientists and academics, commercial entities, and policy makers.
An ecosystem of services
The platform integrates and operates an ecosystem of services in an open and secure cloud environment. The services provide access to DestinE Digital Twin data and multiple other sources, enable users to process, manipulate, visualize, and share data, and expose to the community a flexible and free offer of decision-making tools, adaptable to the end-user needs.
External services onboarding
The DestinE Platform additionally provides onboarding support for integrating external services and resources, making the ecosystem flexible, scalable, and easily adapted to the community needs.

Digital Twins and Digital Twin Engine
The DestinE digital twins offer tailored access to high-resolution climate and weather simulations, combining Earth system models, observations, and advanced technologies like machine learning and AI. The first two digital twins in development are the Climate Change Adaptation and Weather-Induced Extremes Digital Twins.
Powering the DTs, the Digital Twin Engine is the software infrastructure needed for extreme-scale simulations, data fusion, and machine learning, exploiting the capabilities of EuroHPC supercomputers.

Destination Earth Data Lake
The Data Lake stores DestinE Digital Twins data and facilitates the access to massive amounts of data from ECMWF, ESA and EUMETSAT data stores as well as EU Copernicus data, in-situ and European statistical data.
In addition to DT data discovery and access, the Data Lake offers Big Data processing services to allow computing in proximity to the data.
