The overall objective of the project “Boosting Research for a Smart and Carbon Neutral Built Environment with Digital Twins – SmartWins” is to build the capacities for the Kaunas University of Technology in Lithuania, through its “Sus-tainable Energy in the Built Environment” Research Group (SEBERG) within the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Ar-chitecture to conduct high-quality research on the topic of next generation digital twins, applied for allowing the transition to a smart, sustainable, resilient and carbon neutral built environment. The concept of the SmartWins project is to form a network between KTU and leading institutions in the field of energy and sustainability assessment of buildings with the use of Industry 4.0 practices related research and innovation management, for know-how transfer and development of a long-term research collaboration. KTU will twin with the Politecnico di Milano University (PoliMi, Italy), the Centre for Research and Technology, Hellas (CERTH, Greece), a spin-off of the Technical University of Berlin, Contecht GmbH (CON, Germany), and Innotrope (France), aiming to develope its excellence and international reputation in the field, to both cover fundamental research aspects, as well as to further develop its skills, practices and structures to conduct top-notch research.
