Citizen Engagement with Digital Twins

CREST interactive webinar Citizen Engagement with Digital Twins took place on February 27th, 2025, from 11am to 12:30pm CET.

We presented the results of CREST project and involved the participants in discovering the different outputs, including the Digital Twinning Demo of the 3 selected urban areas in France, Poland and Norway, to understand the impact of climate change on these cities, and how lay citizens can actively contribute to climate change adaptation policies and urban planning.
