  <p>Dong-A University’s <strong>AI·Digital Twin·SW Demonstration Center</strong> has been selected for an international joint research project under <strong>Horizon Europe</strong>, the European Union’s largest research and innovation programme — a rare achievement for a Korean university leading a multinational research project.</p>

  <p>As the Korean lead institution of the <strong>EnergyBuilder</strong> project, Dong-A University will develop a digital-twin-based energy optimization platform that maximizes energy efficiency across the design and operation phases of buildings. Part of the EU’s green-energy transition strategy, the project uses artificial intelligence, digital twins and virtual power plant technology to turn buildings into “prosumers” that produce, store and trade energy.</p>

  <p>Demonstrations will take place at the Busan Eco Delta Smart Village and living labs across Europe, further strengthening the university’s technology and international research competitiveness.</p>

  <p>동아대학교 AI·디지털트윈·SW 실증센터가 유럽연합(EU)의 최대 연구혁신 프로그램인 ‘호라이즌 유럽(Horizon Europe)’ 국제 공동연구 과제에 선정되며, 국내 대학으로서는 드물게 다자간 국제 연구 프로젝트를 주도하는 성과를 거두었다.</p>

  <p>동아대학교는 ‘에너지빌더(EnergyBuilder)’ 프로젝트의 국내 주관 기관으로서, 건물의 설계 및 운영 단계에서 에너지 효율을 극대화하는 디지털 트윈 기반 에너지 최적화 플랫폼을 개발할 예정이다. 본 과제는 EU의 친환경 에너지 전환 전략의 일환으로, 인공지능과 디지털 트윈, 가상발전소 기술을 활용해 건물을 에너지를 생산·저장·거래하는 ‘프로슈머’로 전환하는 것을 목표로 한다.</p>

  <p>향후 부산 에코델타 스마트빌리지를 비롯한 유럽 내 리빙랩에서 실증이 진행되며, 이를 통해 동아대학교의 기술력과 국제 연구 경쟁력이 한층 강화될 것으로 기대된다.</p>
