D5.1 Presentation of the Training Programme

Abstract

Texts on the six schools and six courses offered by ReIReS Studying the doctrinal features of religious beliefs or examining the relation between a religious community and a social, economic, cultural and political framework at a specific historical moment in fact requires an acquaintance with a plural and highly diversified set of sources. The study of these sources requires the use of cross-disciplinary methodologies that make it possible to account for the specific features of each individual historical document. Through its access policy, ReIReS provides young scholars with a programme of training activities that enables them to become acquainted with the skills required for historical-religious studies in terms of methodological, historical and linguistic knowledge, as well as scholarly contributions from other disciplines. ReIReS makes it possible to train a new generation of scholars and to prepare them to develop groundbreaking research via an innovative training programme.
