Our app Nidus and the Vincles Alt Pirineu-Aran project against unwanted loneliness were two of the main features at ESSC 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From June 22 to 25, the iSocial Foundation<\/strong> took part in the European Social Services Conference (ESSC 2025)<\/strong>, the leading European forum dedicated to welfare policies and social services, held this year in Aarhus, Denmark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the theme \u201cWhere Care meets Tech\u201d<\/strong>, this year\u2019s edition focused on the role of technology in the transformation of social services\u2014an area in which iSocial contributed its experience through two of its own initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nidus, featured in the Innovation Zone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On one hand, we presented Nidus, our digital support app for people in vulnerable situations<\/strong>, which was one of the main features in the conference\u2019s \u201cInnovation Zone\u201d. We also had a dedicated stand to demonstrate how the app works to attendees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nidus is a tool designed to facilitate communication and support between social services users and their professional contacts<\/strong>. Among other features, it offers a secure digital vault for storing personal documents easily and safely, a direct chat between the user and their professional support team, an AI-powered personal assistant, a shared calendar, customizable questionnaires, and other tools aimed at empowering the user and improving service efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vincles Alt Pirineu-Aran: detection and community<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As part of the ESSC, we also presented the Vincles Alt Pirineu-Aran project\u2014an initiative aimed at detecting and preventing situations of unwanted loneliness<\/strong> through big data technology and community activation in the region. This project was presented alongside the Auzosare program from the Basque Country, led by Agintzari, a member organization of the iSocial Foundation. Both initiatives share the goal of creating community networks that prevent and address social isolation in rural and sparsely populated areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A reference space for social innovation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Participating in ESSC 2025 was a great opportunity to exchange knowledge, discover inspiring initiatives from across Europe, and build new partnerships with organizations working to rethink social services through a lens that blends technology with essential human values<\/strong> such as inclusion and dignity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The iSocial Foundation thanks the European Social Network for organizing this event and for the invitation to take part. We return from Aarhus with fresh ideas and the satisfaction of having shared our work in a leading international forum.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
