About

With the conviction that enlightenment—knowledge—is the ideal antidote to prejudice and discrimination, the project “Religious Diversity in a Globalised World” (ReD Global)  was submitted in 2022 to the European Commission as a EMJM.

Granted in 2023, the ReD Global MA is a collaborative project of nine European and Latin American universities. 

Red Global brings together the universities of Groningen, Córdoba, Coimbra, and Bern in Europe, along with the universities of Guanajuato and UNAM (Mexico), the University of Brasília, the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile, and the University of Salvador in Buenos Aires. 

Each partner institution offers unique perspectives on religious diversity, drawing from disciplines such as history, philology, philosophy, sociology, anthropology, politics, and the social sciences to provide a comprehensive and interdisciplinary understanding of the role of religion in a globalised world.

ReD Global combines a theoretical approach to religious diversity with practical work at non-academic organisations of Red Global’s network. Students focus on relevant issues such as religious conflicts and migration. The non-academic partners also offer ReD Global’s students internship opportunities, as well as co-supervision for their theses.

The University of Groningen, top 100 ranking university, leads this program, unique in both content and character: 

• First MA on religious diversity funded by the European Commission
• Innovative hybrid MA connecting Academia with non-academic partners
