Abstract: The EU project interTwin, co-designed and implemented the prototype of an interdisciplinary Digital Twin Engine (DTE), an open-source platform that provides generic and domain-specific software components for modelling and simulation to integrate application-specific Digital Twins (DTs). The DTE is built upon a co-designed conceptual model - the DTE blueprint architecture - guided by open standards and interoperability principles. The ambition is to develop a unified approach to the implementation of DTs that is applicable across diverse scientific disciplines to foster collaborations and facilitate developments. Co-design involved DT use cases from high-energy physics, radio astronomy, astroparticle physics, climate research, and environmental monitoring, which drove advancements in modelling and simulation by leveraging heterogeneous distributed digital infrastructures, enabling dynamic workflow composition, real-time data management and processing, quality and uncertainty tracing of models, and multi-source data fusion.
