Exploring the role of Religion in the WB societies – RiS

The Institute for Democracy and Mediation (IDM) in cooperation with its partners Belgrade Open school, Institute of Social Science and Humanities Skopje and Analitika Center for Social Research (Sarajevo) has started a project called “Exploring the role of Religion in WB societies - RiS”.

This project relies on analytical and evidence-based contributions generated through a competitive process and through contextual research. These contributions will be presented and further enriched through a regional conference debate with the community of decision makers, religious representatives, academia, civil society and other policy stakeholders from WB countries, the regional cooperation initiatives, as well as European and international stakeholders assisting the WB region’s development processes and integration into Euro-Atlantic community.

The overall goal of RiS project is to enhance societal and policy mechanisms better respond to challenges and employ opportunities for the role of religion in modern societies through better capacities of stakeholders and evidence-based options.
