Victim Support Europe and Slachtofferhulp Nederland are delighted to announce the 2027 VSE Annual Conference: Dear, Society!
The 2027 VSE Annual Conference will bring together victim support professionals, policymakers and experts from across Europe for two days of exchange, reflection and collaboration.
Under the title Dear, Society!, this year’s conference takes the form of an open letter to society – both at an individual and collective level – to communicate one essential message: victim support is everyone’s responsibility and a fundamental societal need.
Through this message, we will shine a spotlight on the different actors who make up the victim support ecosystem and the roles they play. We will explore their key contributions, share promising practices and amplify the voices and experiences of professionals from across different sectors. Together, we will reflect on how society as a whole can contribute to ensuring that victims receive the support they need.
Organised in close partnership with Slachtofferhulp Nederland, a long-standing member of Victim Support Europe, the 2027 Annual Conference will offer a unique opportunity to exchange knowledge, strengthen connections and help shape the future of victim support in Europe.
