The European Academy of Religion (EuARe) invites publishers, exhibitors, and other interested parties to participate in its next Annual Conference, hosted by the St Andrews Encyclopaedia of Theology (University of St Andrews, Scotland, UK) and Australian Catholic University. The Annual Conference, held regularly since 2016, offers an opportunity to meet experts in theology and religious studies from both Europe and further afield. This year the Conference will be held in conjunction with the annual gatherings of the UK Association of Buddhist Studies (UKABS) and the Cusanus Society of UK & Ireland. It will also coincide with a memorial conference celebrating the contribution of Christoph Schwöbel to Christian theology and an international workshop examining topics in music and spiritual realities.

 

Sponsorship is an essential pillar of the Annual Conference, and we look forward to offering a range of exciting opportunities again this year. On this page potential sponsors can explore opportunities for reaching out and engaging with conference participants.
