The Interfaith Institute ensures the scientific quality and the social relevance of the INTER-RELIGIO project. Over the medium and long term, it seeks to create the conditions for the sustainability of this project by consolidating the supply of training and research in the Upper Rhine area.
The Interfaith Institute consists of two bodies: a scientific council and a monitoring committee.
The Scientific Council
The scientific council ensures coordination between the various universities and partner institutions. It is the guarantor of scientific quality of training offered and of the research carried out. The scientific council is made up of project researcher-teachers, representing universities and partner institutions, as well as renowned academics from outside the associated institutions.
