2011 EASR Conference in Budapest
The Hungarian Association for the Academic Study of Religions was host to the tenth EASR conference from 18 to 22 September 2011[more]
Objective
The objective of the European Association for the Study of Religions (EASR) is to promote the academic study of religions through the international collaboration of scholars normally resident in Europe whose research has a bearing on the subject (c.f. Constitution §3(i)).
The EASR is affiliated to the International Association for the History of Religions (IAHR) which is active on a world wide basis. Most of the equivalent national associations within Europe hold corporate membership in the EASR. In a few cases this decision is pending. The EASR does not compete with any of these associations. Rather, it works in close cooperation with them and provides various networking services for this purpose.
