RESILIENCE in Motion

The dynamics of RESILIENCE is demonstrated in the constant enlargement of the consortium: recently three universities joined us as observer.

Dynamics

The term “research infrastucture” may sound as if it is static, but certainly RESILIENCE is full proof that the opposite is true. The dynamics of RESILIENCE is demonstrated in the constant enlargement of the consortium. Just recently three new institutions joined our research infrastructure and all of them obtained the observer status. The University of Helsinki (Finland), the Ramon Llull University (Barcelona, Spain) and the Evangelical Lutheran Theological Faculty of the University of Bratislava (Slovakia) applied successfully for this status, which means that RESILIENCE is now represented in twenty countries.

National Nodes

With these universities the research infrastructure is not only enriched with new and essential expertise and resources but it is also strengthened with institutions that are able to create a national node towards national research infrastructure membership. RESILIENCE is in motion, which also means an openness towards other institutions with an interest to join. The Enlargement Committee is looking forward to new contacts as a growing RESILIENCE can serve the study of religion even better.
