International Spring School on Urban Digital Twins

Join us in London, UK, for the second edition of this international school – open for PhD students, researchers, companies’ representatives, wishing to explore, learn, and innovate with cutting-edge digital twin technologies.

It will challenge participants to think critically and creatively about the security, resilience, and futureproofing of urban infrastructure. The program integrates keynote sessions, demonstrations, fundamentals and practical sessions with state-of-the-art technologies, providing participants with the abilities to add novel dimension to their research – digital twin alignment.

Practical sessions will include collaborative project-based learning, prototype development and discussions.

PhD students will receive ECTS credits for the course, researchers and company representatives – a certificate of completion.

Countdown to the event:

All you need to know

Why should you attend?

Explore how digital twins contribute to more resilient and data-driven cities

Gain insights into how digital twin technology is reshaping industries and research. By integrating this innovative approach, you can enhance the impact and relevance of your work. It will help you rethink how you collect and visualize data, and how you engage with end users. Digital twin technologies can be applied at various levels of detail, depending on the goals and scale of your project.

Gain practical experience by building your own digital twin

Learn to use state-of-the-art tools such as Cesium and iTwin, and apply them in a real project context. Throughout the training, you’ll have the flexibility to integrate other technologies you already know or are eager to explore, allowing you to tailor the process to your specific research or professional interests.

Turn ideas into working solutions

Through project-based, hands-on sessions, you’ll work in teams to develop and test a prototype. This collaborative process will strengthen both your technical expertise and your ability to translate ideas into tangible results.

Participation fee

The participation fee is 1200 EUR. Participants fund their own travel and accommodation.

The full participation fee applies to industry participants. To support academic engagement, PhD students may apply for a full fee waiver, and early career researchers for a partial waiver.

Participation will be limited to a select number of participants to ensure a high-quality, hands-on learning experience. Once registration closes, we will review the number of available fee waivers for PhD students and early career researchers.

We encourage you to monitor the registration deadlines and subscribe to our newsletter to be among the first to learn when the agenda and registration go live.

Technology Focus

Hands-on sessions will include the development of digital twins using state-of-the-art tools such as Cesium and iTwin, as well as sustainability assessment through carbon analysis. However, participants are encouraged to incorporate their own expertise and may choose to use any technology they prefer for development. If desired, participants are welcome to work with their preferred tools and technologies.
