After months of intense collaboration between partners, the DiTwin project is reaching a crucial milestone. The collective efforts invested so far have laid a solid foundation, allowing the project to consolidate the results achieved and take another decisive step towards its final goal. By harnessing the potential of Digital Twin technology, DiTwin is shaping new educational methodologies that bridge the gap between innovation and practical application in the vocational education and training (VET) sector. The focus over the coming months will shift to implementing the DiTwin modules. This phase is a unique opportunity for participants to apply Digital Twin technology in real-world scenarios and explore its technical and pedagogical potential. The implementation will provide valuable insights into how this innovative approach can enhance experiential learning, making education more immersive, dynamic, and aligned with the evolving needs of Industry 4.0. In addition, the partnership is working on the implementation of WP3, “DiTwin Backpack”, a dedicated initiative designed to support teachers in acquiring the knowledge, skills, and competences needed to implement, lead, and evaluate practical and experiential learning through Digital Twin-based activities. These are the main activities foreseen by WP3: With these key activities, the DiTwin project is not only advancing in its technological implementation but also fostering a strong community of educators ready to embrace the future of digital learning. As the project moves forward, the partnership remains committed to ensuring that Digital Twin technology becomes an accessible and practical tool for teachers and learners alike, driving innovation in education across Europe. Stay tuned for more updates!

On Wednesday, March 12, the Spanish Multiplier Event of the European DiTwin project took place in Málaga, during Transfiere 2025 — the largest European forum for R&D and innovation in Southern Europe — which gathered more than 4,500 professionals from over 1,500 companies and institutions. The event, organized by Málaga TechPark and the University of Málaga, brought together 50 participants, mainly VET teachers, headmasters, academic lecturers, and representatives of international organizations. The session began with presentations by Sonia Palomo (Málaga TechPark) and Víctor Muñoz (University of Málaga), who introduced the DiTwin project and highlighted its role in fostering digital innovation in vocational education and training. Attendees also had the opportunity to take part in a hands-on demonstration at the Málaga TechPark stand, where they explored the robot developed by the University of Málaga as part of the project and experienced first-hand how Digital Twin technology can be integrated into teaching environments. DiTwin’s presence at such a large international innovation event reinforced its position as a reference initiative for the digital transformation of education and helped strengthen connections with industry and education stakeholders. The insights and contacts gathered during the event will contribute to further refining the DiTwin modules and supporting their adoption in vocational training across Europe. The Project continues to move forward in its mission to equip teachers and students with the digital skills required by Industry 4.0.
