The concept and practice of religion has always raised profound issues that affect human life and society fundamentally and in its entirety. Informed and solid discussion is a constant need as we map our way through these issues.

This year, we have decided to organize and host a series of panels at the annual conference of the European Academy of Religion, taking place from June 30 – July 2, 2026 in Rome. We believe this may offer ESITIS an opportunity:
- to refine ESITIS’s goals and profile as the field continues to evolve,
- to network strategically with other small organizations and societies who share common interests,
- and overall to introduce ESITIS to a larger audience.
We sincerely hope that you will come to the EuARE, come to ESITIS’s sessions and join us in promoting them in your networks as the conference draws near! We will be in touch again as the conference approaches.
ESITIS has had three panels accepted, and we are very excited about them. You can find all of them at the EuARe website.
About ESITIS
The aim of the European Society for Intercultural Theology and Interreligious Studies (ESITIS) is to stimulate and coordinate research and education in intercultural theology and interreligious studies from perspectives across the humanities and social sciences at graduate and post-graduate level across Europe.
– Preamble, Bylaws
“It is in meetings like ESITIS — and its counterparts around the world — that the future of our understanding of ourselves as intelligent religious persons is being worked out, written, taught.”
(Francis X. Clooney in his blog after the Salzburg conference in 2009)
