The Digital Twin project tackles the challenge of aligning educational outcomes with industry requirements, focusing on the manufacturing sector’s shift towards digital twin technologies. Partners across five EU countries collaborate to address systemic issues hindering the sector, like the gap between educational systems and industry expectations, and the need for more specialized training in digital twin applications.

“We want to create a modern technician’s profile, capable of exploiting technologies such as digital twin, AI, robotics and cybersecurity to drive innovation and address crucial issues in an economically viable way”

Therefore, the project will facilitate the twin transition (digital and green) of companies, while contributing to the development of an attractive training offer to be integrated in VET, H/VET and HE.
