The 3rd IACM Digital Twins in Engineering Conference (DTE 2025) and the 1st ECCOMAS Artificial Intelligence and Computational Methods in Applied Science (AICOMAS 2025) brought together experts at the forefront of AI-driven engineering and digital twinning. We were thrilled to actively contribute with keynote inputs and engage in discussions, exchange ideas, and explore cutting-edge advancements in the domain.

Our research team from the Future Resilient Systems (FRS) programme at the Singapore-ETH Centre (SEC) conducted a successful pilot test in collaboration with the BE-FIT project under the Future Health Technologies (FHT) programme. The test marks a significant step toward understanding built environment factors affecting mobility.

This new survey paper, led by Hao Dong, explores the evolving landscape of multimodal adaptation and generalization, bridging traditional techniques with the power of foundation models.

Founded with a view to boosting the lifespan and reliability of wind turbines, the ETH spin-off RTDT is now improving the devices’ electricity production and performance – all with the help of an intelligent plaster for rotor blades.
