Digital Tools and Training Systems for Combating Domestic Violence

digitalTestedTRL 6

Imagine a digital safety net that helps people in danger find help through a friendly chat interface. It's like having a knowledgeable guide in your pocket that not only gives advice but also securely saves evidence for court. At the same time, it trains the professionals who handle these cases to be more effective and empathetic.

The solution

What was built

A victim-support chatbot, an integrated evidence-gathering data platform, a serious game training module for authorities, and public awareness campaigns.

Consortium

Who built it

The consortium is highly diverse with 15 partners across 9 countries, showing a strong cross-border approach. While it is dominated by 'Other' organizations (8) and universities (4), there is a modest industrial presence with 2 SMEs and 2 industry partners, representing a 13% industry ratio, which suggests the project is more focused on social implementation than immediate commercialization.
