Welcome to the research platform „Religion and Transformation in Contemporary European Society“

The research platform „Religion and Transformation in Contemporary European Society“ dedicates itself to important questions regarding the term and the position of religion and religiousness within societal transformation processes in contemporary Europe.

The platform is an interdisciplinary research community; its members come from the fields of catholic and protestant theology, social science, law, cultural studies, philosophy and education.

Our common purpose is to achieve a clarification on the interactive coherence of religion and societal transformation processes in contemporary Europe looking at the many versatile approaches from the different participating research fields (for details please see “Mission Statement”).
