SUMMARY:Turing-UoM Sandpits 2021-22: Digital Twins

DESCRIPTION:The Digital Twins sandpit is a two-day event scheduled to tak
 e place from 14.00 to 16.00 on Weds 1 and Thurs 2 December. Please note 
 that this is one event across two days and participants are expected to 
 attend on both days.\n\nDigital Twinning is a method of using real-world
  data to create a virtual representation to model a range of processes a
 nd systems and predict potential outcomes. Applications could be applied
  to a wide range of settings across environmental\, healthcare\, plannin
 g and transportation domains to name a few.\n\nThe focus of this worksho
 p will be around urban and environmental digital twins which are already
  transforming how cities are being planned\, built\, and managed\, with 
 examples appearing in cities across the world\, including Helsinki\, Dub
 lin\, Singapore\, Sydney\, Wellington to name a few.  We are also seeing
  the emergence of the environmental digital twin to help better understa
 nd the impacts of climate change\, model air pollution dispersion and he
 lp to understand the human-environment nexus. The wealth of environmenta
 l data collected across a range of scales ensures that digital twins wil
 l play a pivotal role in solving global challenges including climate cha
 nge and air quality.\n\nWe are organising a workshop for researchers\, p
 ublic\, private and third sector participants with interest in digital t
 wins to help identify research challenges and support the development of
  ideas with a view to fostering research proposals within the cities and
  environment domain.\n\nParticipants will develop proposals over the two
  days and our review panel will award funding for a number of six-month 
 feasibility studies (~£10-15k per successful proposal). \n\nPlease note 
 that due to the nature of this funding\, each funded project must be led
  by a researcher from The University of Manchester. \nIntellectual Prope
 rty rights will be subject to terms and conditions as agreed between the
  Alan Turing Institute and The University of Manchester.\nPlease feel fr
 ee to share this invitation with suitable collaborators.\n\nBackground:\
 nThrough our partnership with the Alan Turing Institute\, the University
  of Manchester’s Institute for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence 
 (IDSAI) is hosting a number of ‘sandpit’ events in Autumn-Winter 2021-22
 \, with input from the related Turing Institute programmes.
