Welcome to VAI’s new look website

We’re proud to unveil our newly redesigned website — not just a fresh coat of paint, but a step toward a more sustainable digital experience.

Every choice in this redesign was made with environmental responsibility in mind. We’ve significantly reduced our server storage needs, minimized data-heavy elements, and introduced a simpler, cleaner layout. You’ll notice fewer images and lighter pages — all contributing to lower energy consumption and faster browsing, without compromising usability.

Why does this matter? Every byte of data has a carbon cost. By streamlining our site, we’re reducing that footprint and doing our part to support a healthier planet. It’s a small change, but one we believe makes a meaningful difference.

Over the next days we will be rolling out some new features that are currently still in test mode, including IARA, our new Information and Advice Research Assistant.

Thank you for being here and supporting a more conscious way to connect online.
