VIPROM

What VIPROM does

VIPROM (Victim Protection in Medicine) is an EU-funded research project launched in 2023 under the CERV-2022-DAPHNE programme (Grant Agreement No. 101095828) and coordinated by European Research Services GmbH in M\u00fcnster, Germany. It is led by Prof. Dr. Dr. Bettina Pfleiderer of Universit\u00e4t M\u00fcnster and operates through a consortium of nine partners across five European countries: Austria (IKF, Paris Lodron University Salzburg, VICESSE), Germany (WWU, ERS, GESINE Intervention), Greece (HFPA), Italy (AOU-PR, University of Parma, AIDM), and Sweden (Uppsala University/NCK). The project develops and delivers modular, multilingual training curricula and educational materials on domestic violence tailored to medical and dental professionals, nurses, midwives, and medical students.

The product portfolio comprises pocket-sized reference cards (Med.DocCard\u00a9 and Dent.DocCard\u00a9), a Train-the-Trainer Handbook, the ICC Intercultural Competence Handbook, Changemaker Guidelines, the VIPROM Roadmap, and the European Training Platform on Domestic Violence (training.improdova.eu / training.viprom-cerv.eu). Distribution channels span a website, biannual newsletter, 10-part European Webinar Series, Zenodo open repository, YouTube, and consortium-led in-person training across the five partner countries. End beneficiaries trained to date include more than 85 healthcare professionals in Greece, 38 medical students in Graz, 30 medical students in M\u00fcnster, 14 medical doctors in Austria, and additional cohorts in Sweden and Italy.

VIPROM is a non-profit, grant-funded initiative; all training materials are provided free of charge with no commercial revenue model. The project's three-year runtime has concluded, with all outputs published on Zenodo in May 2026 and the German Train-the-Trainer course accredited in March 2026 as the blueprint for post-project sustainability. Sister-project collaborations with IMPROVE, ISEDA, and IMPRODOVA extend reach into additional EU-funded domestic violence prevention initiatives.
