Giuseppe Alberigo Award 2019
March 4, 2019
​
​
Fscire and Emilia-Romagna Region, together with the European Academy of Religion, are glad to announce the second edition of the Alberigo Award.
Giuseppe Alberigo (1926-2007) was an historian of great magnitude who was able to combine exceptional, exemplary rigour in research and a unique timeliness in the intellectual and theological debate of his time, thereby offering a precious contribution to sowing the seeds of criticism in generations of scholars internationally.
In memory of his fervour and wealth of critical studies, the Region of Emilia-Romagna and the Fondazione per le scienze religiose Giovanni XXIII, to which Alberigo dedicated 54 years of his life, will confere a sum of € 30,000 (Senior Award, € 20,000; Junior Award € 10,000), which will reward scholars engaged in a field of religious science, whether historical, exegetical, theological or other, without any form of limitation concerning the type of study.
​
Candidacies must be presented by the authors themselves and/or third parties – scholars, centres, journals, editors, associations, academies or departments – provided that they be registered members of the European Academy of Religion (EuARe), by sending a paper or digital copy of their books published within the last three years, or works that have yet to be published, in any field of religious science. Every candidacy must be accompanied by a brief presentation of the particular aspects of the volume or paper, the curriculum vitae of its author(s) and the indication of the category of the Award applied for. Candidacies will be received by July 31st, 2019.
​
The three finalists in each category will be invited to present a lecture at the annual convention of the European Academy of Religion in 2020, when the President of the Emilia-Romagna Region or his delegate will confer the awards in a special ceremony.

Establishment of the network of European Centers on Religion and Politics
June 16, 2019
​
​
Over the past three decades, a significant number of centers for "religion and public life" have emerged in European universities. During the third congress of the European Academy of Religion on March 4 2019, the leaders of some of these centers launched the network of European Centers on Religion and Politics.
This new initiative has two major goals. The first one is to improve communication and to foster inter-disciplinary and comparative approaches on the topic of religion and politics across religious traditions political contexts and historical periods among academic institutions in Europe and beyond. The second one is be a platform to disseminate research findings and projects in order to create a fruitful interactions with media and policy-makers working at the interface of religion and politics.

PUBLISHERS
The European Academy of Religion is happy to invite publishers to participate in its next event.
After its launch in 2016, EuARe Annual Conferences have reached their fifth edition. As publishers' participation has always been an essential pillar of the initiative, we are eager to welcome publishing houses to Bologna once again.
On this page, publishers can discover how to reach out to participants through advertising materials and receptions, start programming interviews with soon-to-be authors, and get in touch with us about possible partnerships.
​
​
PARTNERSHIP AND SPONSORSHIP OPTIONS
​
Publishers can contribute in many ways to the conference. Among others, we encourage them to:
-
Participate with a book stand. The bookstand is free of charge for publishers/exhibitors. Materials can be sent to us in advance, about a month before the event.
-
Send advertising materials to be included in our conference bags. Materials can either be sent to us in advance about a month before the event or printed in Bologna at the publishing houses' expenses.
-
Organize an Author Meets Critique session if they have special issues, volumes, collections to launch.
-
Organize a sponsored panel. In this case, publishers could decide to cover the registration fees of the panellists or fund their participation in different ways. In case there is not an agreement between the publishers and the panellists before the presentation of the panel proposal, EuARe supports communication between publishers and panellists, but is not involved in the funding procedures.
​
It is also possible to sponsor other types of activities. Among others, we suggest: :
-
Sponsoring a reception (it could be by invitation only, and EuARe could help the publisher to find the best moment and space to host it).
-
Sponsoring a table at the Gala Dinner (from 6 to 10 people of your choice – depending on the COVID regulations which will be in place next Summer) on Wednesday, June 22nd.
-
Sponsoring 2 travel grants (300 € each, which will partially cover accommodation and travel expenses of two students, PhD students, post-docs, and early career scholars participating in the conference).
​​
Please, reach out to euare.bo@gmail.com to discuss these options further or to reserve a booth at the conference.
