Decide Area

A Committed Deep Dive into Ocean Decision-Making


The DECIDE AREA is an interactive control centre designed to provide the EU decision-makers community with a hands-on experience of the European Digital Twin Ocean developed as part of the EU Mission “Restore Our Ocean and Waters”. This immersive space enables users to explore real-time ocean monitoring, predictive modelling, and scenario-based policy simulations.

 Through a unique experience using cutting-edge visualization tools and applications, the DECIDE zone will provide an overview of the vast possibilities offered by the European Digital Twin Ocean to aid decision-making, empowering decision-makers with practical insights and actionable strategy based on scientifically qualified solutions.
