The Faraday Institute for Science and Religion is an academic research
enterprise based at St Edmund's College, Cambridge. The Faraday
Institute offers informed and intellectually rigorous courses on the
relationship between science and religion, delivered by speakers eminent
in their own discipline and in this inter-disciplinary field.
Post-doc and student fees are heavily discounted and bursaries are
available for those from low-income countries.

Forthcoming courses are as follows:

Summer Course no. 1: 16-29 July 2006, St Edmund's College, Cambridge

This course will be organised as two one-week Units; delegates may
attend either or both weeks. The first week is designed for scientists
and looks at some of the big questions in the science-religion debate,
including focused days on the anthropic principle, evolution,
mind/brain, how science and religion may relate, and ethical issues in
the application of science. The second week focuses in more depth on the
history and philosophy of science and religion, for example looking at
how knowledge in each sphere is justified, and how God might act in a
world described by scientific laws.

Week 1, 16-22 July: ‘The Big Questions in Science and Religion’

Week 2, 23-29 July: ‘Science, Philosophy and Theology’

Speakers include: Prof .George Ellis, Prof. Simon Conway Morris FRS,
Prof. John Bryant, Revd Dr John Polkinghorne KBE FRS, Prof. Gareth
Jones, Prof. Jeff Schloss, Prof. Colin Humphreys, Prof. Roger Trigg,
Prof Ernan McMullin, Prof. Mikael Stenmark, Prof. David Lindberg, Prof.
Peter Harrison.

Short course no.2: Science, Faith and Society
22-24 September 2006, Westminster College, Cambridge

This course will be of interest to all those concerned with the way that
the ethical implications of scientific discoveries, as well as the
handling of science and religion more specifically, are handled by the
media, by government, and in education, thereby shaping public
perceptions of both science, ethics and religion. The course will be of
particular interest to scientists concerned with the public
understanding of science, to those in the media involved in
communicating science and/or religion, to teachers and all involved in
education, to those in government involved in shaping policy, and to all
members of the general public who have an interest in the way science
and faith interact in society.

Speakers include: Prof. Sir John Houghton FRS, Dr David Cook, Dr Peter
Moore, Prof. Michael Banner.
