Welcome to the planning NSF Industry–University Cooperative Research Center (IUCRC) Digital Twin Research, Innovation & Collaboration Hub (DT-RICH). We are a multi-institutional planning IUCRC supported by the National Science Foundation. Our Hub brings together government, industry, and university partners to accelerate the translation of academic Digital Twin research into practical, actionable technologies to improve U.S. competitiveness and greater societal impact.
Industry partners and academia partners jointly identify real challenges. University teams develop tailored technology solutions. The NSF provides sustained funding and oversight, creating a robust environment for long-term collaboration that is highly valuable to all partners.
Join a community of experts from leading institutions — including George Mason University, Virginia Tech — and gain access to faculty researchers, graduate talents, and cross-disciplinary capabilities across digital twin research in geospatial domains, AI and physics-based models for forecasting, public health, medicine, industrial engineering, construction production, space traffic, and computer science.
