Resilience in Religion and Spirituality
The DFG-FOR 2686 Project, Resilience in Religion and Spirituality is now underway under the leadership of Professor Dr. Cornelia Richter. The interdisciplinary research team combines academics from theology, philosophy, psychosomatics, psychotherapy, palliative medicine and spiritual care. The first phase of the project runs from 2019 until 2022 and focuses on the hermeneutics of resilience narratives, the creation of an interdisciplinary definition of resilience, and the development of more precise diagnostic tools.

Conference on Religious and Philosophical Conversion
The Conference on Religious and Philosophical Conversion in the Ancient Mediterranean Traditions took place at the University of Bonn on 25.-27.09.2018. Many renowned speakers from all over the world (Argentina, Germany, Greece, Italy, Lebanon, Sweden, Switzerland, Spain, USA) and excellent junior researchers gave lectures.
