University Research Priority Program (URPP) “Digital Religion(s)” of the University of Zurich joins RESILIENCE as an associate partner.
For RESILIENCE, this means further expansion and strengthening of partners having expertise in digitalization. Moreover, RESILIENCE is now also present in Switzerland.
Collaboration between RESILIENCE and URPP “Digital Religion(s)” will be mainly focused, in the following year, on research data management practices and research methodologies that combine religious studies with big data analysis.
The URPP “Digital Religion(s)” investigates how current dynamics of digitalization influence, shape and transform the religious practices of individuals and institutions. Core issues and major topics include religious identity formation and the development of collaborative online-offline networks, practices of media communication in grieving and pastoral care, as well as phenomena of religion-related digital education.
