Connecting the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences in the study of religious traditions and their general conditions

We educate

"Religious Studies taught me above all to think critically — to look up sources, not to accept everything as given fact, but to ask questions and investigate."

We experiment

We study religious behavior in collaboration with the natural and social sciences.

I want to know more!

We invite leading experts on both classic and new topics to Brno.

We model religious behavior
in space and time. We strive to see connections —
the individual within the whole.
