This page gives you the detail of CISMOR lectures. We report on the past public lectures to return the results of our research to society.

At the international workshop, a specific theme is discussed and studied in-depth with invited researchers from all over the world. Through these workshops, we hope to form a global network of researchers for the interdisciplinary study of monotheistic religions.
