RESILIENCE – REligious Studies Infrastructure: tooLs, Innovation, Experts, conNections and Centres in Europe

​  ​

FSCIRE is the initiator and leading institution of RESILIENCE, an interdisciplinary and scientific research infrastructure for all Religious Studies which builds a high-performance platform, supplying tools and access to physical and digital data to scholars in all disciplines of the religious studies in their diachronic and synchronic variety.

On June 2021, the ESFRI Forum included RESILIENCE in the Research Infrastructure Roadmap 2021.

The RI addresses the need for a broader and more structured involvement of Pan-European excellent researchers, producing skills, new knowledge, a cutting-edge approach and a visible impact in terms of innovation in the scientific field of Religious Studies.

RESILIENCE supplies access to data and tools in learning about and understanding these data, thus it facilitates, invigorates and disseminates high-quality research concerning all religions throughout Europe and globally.

The RI is based on partners who have shared over a decade of effective collaboration, proving its capacity to achieve viable implementation.

Concerning the European level, the consortium partners are the promoters of:

The partners are also key players in the construction of the questionnaire submitted for the 2018 ESFRI Roadmap and of the Early Phase RESILIENCE (H2020 INFRADEV, 2019-2021), crucial milestones in the infrastructure implementation journey.

Since June 2022, RESILIENCE has also been receiving funding from the European Community, enabling it to complete the first phase of its development: the preparatory phase, which will last four years. This will be followed by an implementation phase and an operational phase, for a total lifecycle of approximately 35 years. For the phases following the preparatory one, RESILIENCE will be established as an ERIC – European Research Infrastructure Consortium – a legal entity recognized at the European level, whose assembly includes representatives of the governments that provide the infrastructure with political and financial support.

The research infrastructure addresses the need for broader and more structured engagement of researchers from centers of excellence across Europe, generating expertise, new knowledge, cutting-edge approaches, and a tangible impact in terms of innovation within the scientific field of religious studies.

The consortium of partners establishing RESILIENCE is led by FSCIRE and composed of:

Nel 2023, the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia; New Georgian University, Georgia; NOSTER, Netherlands School for Advanced Studies in Theology and Religion; University Library Tübingen (Index Theologicus), Germany, joined the RESILIENCE general council.

Francesca Cadeddu, the executive director, speaks about it here:

The INFRADEV Early Phase RESILIENCE project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 programme under Grant Agreement No. 871127.

ITSERR

ITSERR – Italian Strenghtening of the ESFRI RI RESILIENCE

ITSERR is a project funded under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP), Mission 4 “Education and Research” – Component 2 “From Research to Business” – Investment Line 3.1, “Fund for the creation of an integrated system of research and innovation infrastructures”, which is financed by the European Union – NextGenerationEU.

The ITSERR project was conceived by FSCIRE, in collaboration with the National Research Council (CNR) and the Universities of Turin, Modena and Reggio Emilia, Naples “L’Orientale”, and Palermo.
The project partnership is composed of the CNR (which is the lead partner and hosts both the scientific coordinator and the financial manager) and the universities.

The operational units of ITSERR are: 

CNR, Istituto di Scienza e Tecnologie dell'Informazione "A. Faedo"; UNIMORE, Dipartimento di Educazione e Scienze Umane; UNIMORE, Dipartimento di Ingegneria "Enzo Ferrari"; UNIOR, Dipartimento Asia Africa e Mediterraneo; UNIPA, Dipartimento Culture e Società; UNIPA, Dipartimento di Matematica e Informatica; UNIPA, Dipartimento di Ingegneria; UNIPA, Dipartimento di Giurisprudenza; UNIPA, Dipartimento di Architettura; UNITO, Dipartimento di Studi Storici.

ITSERR is a project aimed at strengthening RESILIENCE based on the needs of the national scientific community in the field of religious studies: it’s based on the premise that the humanities can generate highly diverse and complex datasets that pose significant challenges to current technologies and ICT research. The project, therefore, aims to turn the religious studies research community from a simple user of existing technologies into a key player in developing new discoveries and knowledge, including in the field of technology.
