Horizon 2020
Horizon 2020 is the biggest EU Research and Innovation program ever with nearly €80 billion of funding available over 7 years
(2014 to 2020) – in addition to the private investment that this money will attract.
Seen as a means to drive economic growth and create jobs, Horizon 2020 has the political backing of Europe’s leaders and the
Members of the European Parliament.
Horizon 2020 is open to everyone, with a simple structure that reduces red tape and time so participants can focus on what is really important.
This approach makes sure new projects get off the ground quickly – and achieve results faster.

Machine sendsout an alarm!
The alarm data is sent to the local server.
The alarm is sent to a cloud server with API endpoints.
The mainenancesystem createsa service request.
The service engineer gets the sevice request and canstart working on the machine.
The machine cango back in production!

Why Mining?
Outreach
www.SIMSmining.eu29
• Education, Dissemination andCommunication aspects of SIMS.• Telling the world about SIMS!• Building trust and social acceptance for the mining industry.• Will be able to view all demonstrations in the SIMS Virtual Mine!• School children extremely positive to the SIMS project and Mining in general.

Attractive Workplaces
www.SIMSmining.eu32
• Social License to Operate / Social Acceptance• Mining companies can be good at this but often only at the local level.• But how do they / we reach the mass general public?• SIMS starts with ‘Why is mining important?’
