Motivation

Today, the global mining community faces significant challenges, ranging from technological to social, environmental and economic issues. The European mining community has confronted and solved such challenges over centuries and has thereby delivered important contributions to the use and development of our mineral resources.

The key objective of AIMS 2016 is to provide a platform for researchers from academic institutions, professionals from mining companies, practitioners from consulting companies, equipment suppliers and software providers to share the latest developments on mining activities, developments and research in Europe. Initiating a new Symposium within the established AIMS conference series, “Mining in Europe” will be the framework for a series of topics. The conference will include keynote talks, case studies and technical papers. An additional objective of AIMS 2016 is to encourage MSc and PhD students to showcase their research to support the next generation of mining professionals.
