| The
International Association for Science and Religion in
Schools (IASRS). The Association has been launched at
two conferences, the ESSSAT and SRForum Conference at
Edinburgh in April 2010 and the EFTRE Conference in
Bruges in August 2010.
A considerable interest has already been shown in the
‘science and religion debate’ at school
level. The world’s first project in this area
was the ‘Science and Religion in Schools Project’
based in the UK which started in 2002 and was supported
financially by the John Templeton Foundation. Details
of this project are to be found on this website. Since
then three other projects have been developed in the
UK (see the links bellow). The sharing of information
and experience is extremely valuable in this area, as
for many others. The Directors of the SRS Project have
therefore decided to allow its materials to be used
by other such projects round the world without charge,
provided that permission is sought and that acknowledgement
is given when the materials are quoted.
The International Association for Science and Religion in Schools is looking for people to contribute articles about the schools' education systems in their countries in relation to learning about science and religion. If you are willing to write about your education system and/or would like to be added to our contact and distribution list, please email us. If there is anyone else you would like to suggest joins the list please encourage them to e-mail us.
The President of IASRS is Professor Michael Reiss at the Institute of Education, London and the Director is Prof Berry Billingsley at Swansea University. The email address to contact us at IASRS is contact@iasrs.net

| * We are saddend to report that Martin Rogers OBE died in late 2018. Martin's contribution to the world of Religious Education is hard to exagerate. As a teacher of science and of religion, as a headteacher supporting the dialogue, as the director of the Farmington Institute awarding reserch scolarships for teachers, and finally as the Director of the Science and Religion in schools project Martin's work and legacy will be fondly and long remembered. |
