The CEU Center for Religious Studies
CRS is an academic forum at CEU fostering the study of religion. The mission of the center is to initiate and to coordinate research and the dissemination of its results by mounting academic events and fostering publications that address religion-related questions in critical ways.
The CRS collaborates with relevant departments and academic units at CEU. It crosses the borders of disciplines, confessional and geo-political categorizations, and covers historical periods from ancient to modern times. With institutional contacts throughout the region and worldwide, the CRS provides an important site for academic research and communication.
CEU's Religious Studies Program (RSP) was established in 2005 as an interdepartmental academic forum with the generous support of the Carnegie Corporation. The program was institutionalized in 2012 as the CEU Center for Religious Studies (CRS). As an independent unit, CRS engages in a growing number of exchanges and joint activities with the international academic community. CRS participates in Erasmus student and faculty exchange and welcomes affiliate guest researchers.
