In September 2016, the Austrian Federal Ministry of Education (BMB) established a Special Research Area ‚Interreligiosity’ at the Private University College for Teacher Education Vienna/Krems (KPH). The Research Area is supposed to provide an empirical, context-sensitive basis for enhancing interreligious competence in teacher education.

Within the context of the research cooperation RELIGION_PLURALITÄT, SIR joins forces with the research professorship interreligiosity (HS-Prof. Dr. Bettina Brandstetter) at the Institute for Research and Development of the Private University of Education, Diocese of Linz.

Approximately 30 researchers from Universities as well as University Colleges from all over Austria participated in the workshop. They presented papers on various aspects of religious plurality in Austria - including papers from the Academic Study of Religions, the Pedagogy odf Religions, Theology as well as the Sociology of Religions. Rector Franz Keplinger (PHDL) had been so kind to welcome the scholars and to participate in most of the panels.

The workshop had initially been planned for Spring 2020. Due to the CORONA-pandemic it had to be postponed. Some of the papers will be published on the peer-reviewd, online-journal 'Pädagogische Horizonte'.
