Side Events

During the conference day a number of side events are arranged alongside the main conference program. Our side events offer a closer look into the topics covered at the main program.

Side events provide VSE Members and partners with the opportunity to launch tech initiatives and tools, promote projects or approaches, and products or services. They are also the perfect occasion to have Q&A discussions on specific topics.

Our side events are primarily working along four thematic lines:

Software And Hardware For The Benefit Of Victim Support Services
Self-Help Technologies For Victims Of Crime
Providing Information To Victims Of Crime In The Web
Online Training Tools For The Benefit Of Victims
Virtual Reality Therapy
