Research Infrastructure on Religious Studies

Project description

Reshaping religious studies through innovation

Understanding the historical and cultural influences of religion has become more crucial than ever in today’s multicultural society. In this context, the EU-funded ReIReS project has emerged as a pioneering community within the European Research Area. By uniting prominent European research institutions, including universities, libraries, archives, academies, research institutions, and museums, the project aims to revolutionise access to data and information in religious studies. Specifically, ReIReS integrates diverse scientific skills and capabilities, fostering a culture of cooperation among national research facilities, scientific communities, and policymakers. By creating a transnational and virtual platform, it provides scholars from around the world with unparalleled access to essential tools and sources in the field of religious studies. Overall, ReIReS is set to reshape religious studies.

Objective

ReIReS is a starting community whose aim is to create a unique and groundbreaking research infrastructure (RI) on religious studies within the European Research Area. It joints the major European research institutions working in the domain (universities, libraries, archives, academies, research institutions, and museums) to improve the access of scholars from all over the world to the data, information and sources concerning the study of the historical and cultural influence of the plural religious heritage in the European history. Furthermore, it joints research activities of the partners, integrating complementary scientific skills and capabilities, and it organizes networking activities for fostering a culture of co-operation between national research facilities, scientific communities, and other stakeholders including policy makers. ReIReS creates a synergy between the partners, offering a transnational and virtual access to the most significant tools and sources in the field of religious studies. This grants to the research communities the use of the major tools joint within a comprehensive infrastructure and gives to the EU a leading role in a domain, which is becoming more and more crucial for the understanding of inter-cultural dynamics and facing conflicts of our time. Dealing with the need for an appropriate comprehension of a complex and multicultural society, ReIReS consortium works towards the improvement of the integrated services of the partners. It aims to establish a distributed RI with a sustainable plan of activities, including offering access to a wide range of high-level data and tools for advancing knowledge and innovation in the understanding of inter-religious society.
