Fifty years on from the Treaty of Rome and Europe is redefining itself by attempting unification in the economic, political, social and cultural spheres. For the first time in human history, a unification process is in progress, not under the dominance of a single power, but as an open invitation to reach a common identity and common goals.
Clearly a common vision of culture, values, principles and approaches will greatly enhance the unification process. The European unification process is most often discussed in 'technical' terms. In the search for a new European identity, it is therefore important to try and open up the discussion, and to reassess the history of Europe in terms of science, philosophy and theology.

The conference is organised in collaboration with the and the (Science-Religion interaction in the 21st century SR21), supported by the British Council.
