EGI2025 – Day 3 Highlights

The morning plenary highlighted the achievements of the interTwin project, with speakers showcasing progress in building a European digital twin engine for science. With over 70 attendees, the session underscored the importance of interoperability, scalability, and domain-driven innovation.

Parallel sessions brought digital twin use cases to life, from real-time signal detection and climate modelling to 3D visualisations and emission monitoring. The community also explored cloud-HPC-edge integration, with talks on orchestration tools, data mining, and federated storage solutions.

A key session on federated infrastructures presented examples from Europe and China, including EGI service updates, AI-enhanced helpdesk systems, and cross-border collaboration through the Global Open Science Cloud. Thematic infrastructure talks highlighted national strategies from Poland, France, Portugal, and others.

The Closing Panel, “Infrastructures for Scientific Collaboration: National & Thematic Perspectives”, brought key reflections from across the week, emphasising the need for flexibility, trust, and community-driven governance in infrastructure development.

The day concluded with a celebration of community contributions:

Poster prizes went to Anca Hienola (FMI – OS-TRAILS) and Zdeněk Šustr (CESNET – New features in EGI Check-in).

We’d also like to congratulate Enrico Vianello, winner of the EGI2025 Photo Contest, for his delightful snapshot featuring one of the event’s much-loved penguins!

Special congratulations to Ana López Cudero, winner of the Whova Leaderboard Challenge, with an impressive 29,500 points for her engagement throughout the conference.
