2024 May 15th-16th Digital Twin IAB Planning Meeting

The I/UCRC for Spatiotemporal Thinking, Computing and Applications (a.k.a. NSF Spatiotemporal Innovation Center) holds its 21st semi-annual Industrial Advisory Board meeting in a hybrid fashion on May 15th-16th, 2024. This meeting reviews the center’s innovative research and identifies new projects to be supported through collaborations among academia, industry, and agencies, and will also serve as a planning meeting for the upcoming Digital Twins I/UCRC. All new proposals presented here will be a part of this upcoming Digital Twins I/UCRC which is estimated to be launched in Spring 2025. This planning meeting is immediately followed by Harvard CGA’s GeoAI conference, which also has a session on Digital Twins on the afternoon of May 16th.

All center research results are freely shared among members to boost their products, services, and businesses. All companies or agencies (with interest in geospatial and spatiotemporal research themes) are welcome to participate. This is a prime time to become familiar with cutting-edge research results, leverage the innovative outcome for your future products and services, increase your efficiency, improve your competitiveness, and boost your business.
