Information Technologies and Society: European ReIReS network launched an online database for religious studies

European ReIReS network launches an online database for religious studies. The database combines the rich collections of various European institutions, offering improved access to research material and sources on Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, as well as on ancient and non-European religions.

The EU-funded Research Infrastructure on Religious Studies (ReIReS) project has been bringing together various European institutions, including Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz (JGU), over the last two and a half years to establish an innovative infrastructure for religious research in Europe. It aims to provide transnational and virtual access to significant tools and sources in the field of European religious research.

The network now launched its web-based research database ReIReSearch, which offers a new search tool and improved access to research material and sources on Judaism, Christianity, and Islam as well as on ancient and non-European religions.
