The IMPROVE project is proud to announce that AinoAid™, our innovative chatbot and knowledge bank offering support for close relationships and domestic violence, has won the European Commission's "Best Innovation with Direct Support to Citizens" award at the Security Innovation Award 2025. This recognition underscores AinoAid's vital role in safeguarding society and providing crucial assistance to those in need.

On June 3, 2025, the city of Valencia hosted the International Symposium on New Approaches to Combat Domestic Violence. The event brought together European experts, policymakers, and first responders to present the results of the Horizon Europe project IMPROVE and discuss future strategies to combat domestic and gender-based violence.

As part of the IMPROVE project’s ongoing commitment to the prevention of domestic violence, the Valencia Local Police, in collaboration with the APTC association, held today a participatory workshop with women survivors of gender-based violence, inspired by the internationally recognised “Clothesline Project” initiative.
