Coastal corrosion risk management through digital twin model for a sustainable blue economy
CORRASBLUE is among the 24 research and innovation projects recommended for funding of the 2024 Sustainable Blue Economy Partnership.

Coastal Corrosion Risk Management through Digital twin model for a Sustainable Blue Economy


Understanding coastal corrosion and its impact on marine infrastructure is a complex challenge that sits at the intersection of engineering, environment, and sustainability. To make this challenge more accessible, the CORRASBlue project has developed an animated science storytelling video that explains why coastal corrosion matters and how digital twin technology can support more sustainable infrastructure management.
CORRASBlue (Coastal Corrosion Risk Management through Digital Twin Models for a Sustainable Blue Economy) is a large European research collaboration involving 20 partners from 10 countries, spanning research institutions, technology providers, and industry stakeholders. The project focuses on improving how corrosion risks are monitored, understood, and predicted in coastal environments.
At the core of CORRASBlue is the development of a coastal corrosion digital twin that integrates data from corrosion sensors, environmental monitoring, and biological activity. By combining these data streams, the project aims to support earlier decision-making, reduce environmental impact, and extend the lifetime of critical coastal and marine infrastructure.
The video is part of CORRASBlue’s broader outreach activities, supporting clear communication, stakeholder engagement, and knowledge sharing across disciplines—key elements for enabling a resilient and sustainable blue economy.
