VECTOR Simulator
‘What is the VECTOR “Simulator”?
The Simulator is an interactive data visualisation tool that aims to visualise the complex interaction between the EU’s policy targets and the raw materials needed to achieve these. The Simulator enables users picture the dilemmas surrounding Europe’s decarbonisation, which are meeting the policy targets set out in the EU Green Deal, while also considering the need for an increased supply of critical raw materials to meet the targets.
The Simulator is also designed as a communication tool, that can be used by stakeholders from research, industry, and local government to highlight the link between decarbonisation technologies and the demand of critical raw materials.

Which data will be stored?
When you “submit choices” you indicated policy preferences given will be stored in a database in terms of the number of points allocated to the preferred policy focus. The total number of points earned and spend is recorded too; alongside any comments one may enter. Please note that for this no personal data, location data, or IP addresses are stored.
Who has access to the data and how will it be used?
The software is owned and hosted by Delib Limited, while the design of the Simulator content is the responsibility of researchers from University College Dublin (UCD) in Ireland. Researchers from the VECTOR project have access to the data. Data may be used for policy reports, academic presentations and publications.
