Welcome to the STRIM Project

Safety Training with Real Immersivity for Mining (STRIM) arises from the synergy between higher education institutions and mining companies providing tools to improve occupational health and safety (OSH) conditions and implementation of coherent and comprehensive educational approaches for the mining sector.

About STRIM

Mining, while vital, remains one of the most dangerous sectors, often carrying a negative image. Accidents incur significant costs, affecting individuals, companies, and society. The STRIM project addresses this by developing innovative training methods using Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR/AR) to simulate mining environments safely. Our goal is to enhance Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) through modernized educational programs, smart technologies, and capacity building in universities, fostering a strong safety-oriented culture.
