SSRA gets launched

 

The Society for Science and Religion in Asia (“SSRA”) is a non-governmental, independent academic organization registered in Hong Kong. It is formed by a voluntary group of academics across Asia who share an extensive background in studying the relationship between Science and Religion. It is established for the following purposes

(2)  To develop partnership and cooperation with other academic and religious organizations;

(3)  To promote the education of the public

(4)  To discover and develop potential talents through mentoring and training activities.

 

We plan to carry out the following activities

(1)    Organize summer schools in universities around Asia.  

(2)    Organize international conferences

(3)    Organize publication seminars for postgraduate students taught by well-published scholars 

(4)    Organize public lectures, podcasts and video interviews.
