The seminar, organised by SURF and NSO, brought together experts and interested parties to discuss the challenges and build the collaborations needed to prepare the Dutch research community for Destination Earth.

After a welcome by Ron Augustus, SURF Chief Innovation Officer and Board member, we listened to experts from different fields who shared their insights on Digital Earth Twins. During the interactive breakout, we imagined how the future could look like with Destination Earth. The day was closed with drinks and an XR-demo by SURF's visualization team.

The presentations can be downloaded through the title links.
