Resumo
Abstract
Esta rede de investigadores foi constituída tendo como primeiro objectivo com os
objectivos de aprofundar a compreensão sociológica da situação religiosa na Europa
contemporânea (ocidental e de leste) e nos Estados Unidos da América, identificando
áreas de relevo pouco estudadas numa perspectiva quantitativa que permita
desenvolver instrumentos adequados a pesquisas internacionais sobre religião e
estreitar as relações entre sociólogos da religião europeus e norte-americanos. O
projecto terá uma duração de três anos, ao longo dos quais deverá organizar três
workshops.
This network was established with four goals: 1) To establish an international research
network to deepen the sociological understanding of the religious situation in a modern
Europe (including the former Eastern European countries) and the United States; 2) To
identify relevant areas which have not yet been investigated with necessary
quantitative approaches and to develop proper instruments for a comparative crossnational survey on religion; 3) To strengthen and expand the network of sociologists of
religion across the Atlantic.; 4)To publish the results of this endeavour in order to make
them available to the entire research community. To fulfil these goals three workshops
are planned over three years. The workshops' preliminary themes are: Secularization,
religious organisations, and finalizing the measurement instrument.
