Institute of Science and Faith
The Institute of Science and Faith is inspired by the guidelines proposed by John Paul II’s encyclical Fides et ratio. The educational objectives are: teaching, research, and the publication of studies on the relationship between science and faith, to provide answers to the most heartfelt ethical and anthropological questions of our history, trying to provide a point of agreement in the search for truth.
The Institute organises and conducts research and teaching on the topics at the heart of the discussion between sacredness and the scientific method. The study offer provides advanced training for professionals who wish to enhance their theoretical and cultural skills on the relationship between science and faith.
