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.

The 2022 host of the EuARe Annual Conference, FSCIRE, offers 70 travel grants of € 300 to students, PhD students, post-docs, and early career scholars participating in the Conference. The grants are also accessible to those who would like to attend the meeting as auditors, i.e. without offering a conference paper.

We will assign 35 grants per period: applicants will receive a notification from the EuARe Secretariat by April 15th, if they applied in the first period, and by June 6th, if they applied in the second period.

Applicants must submit to eu_are@fscire.it a curriculum vitae, a motivation letter, and an estimated travel budget to be eligible for the grant. If the number of eligible applications is higher than the number of travel grants that can be awarded, a selection will be made taking into account the age and academic position of the applicant.

Applicants will receive a notification from the EuARe Secretariat either in case of acceptance or rejection. If you applied and did not receive a positive or negative confirmation, please inquire before the Conference.
