The competitions announced as part of the ECLAS grant have been concluded.
We would like to thank everyone who submitted an application. The panel of experts evaluated projects submitted by institutions from Croatia, Austria, Slovakia, and Poland, which presented ideas for initiatives aimed at increasing the presence of scientists in parishes and religious communities, as well as in institutions involved in the formation of future clergy. The selected projects include a wide range of activities—from lecture series on science and religion, exhibitions, and competitions, to organizing a Science Day in parishes and study trips for seminarians to centers promoting science.
