Faraday Institute
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Faraday Institute is a research institute at St Edmund's College, Cambridge. The institute was set up in January 2006 by a grant from the John Templeton Foundation. The institute's three aims are:
- Scholarly research and publication on science and religion, including the organisation of invited groups of experts to write joint publications.
- To provide short-term courses in science and religion.
- To organise seminars and lectures on science and religion.
The Institute has eight staff based at St Edmund's College in Cambridge (UK). It is also linked informally to a group of "Faraday Associates", based mainly within the scientific community, who are active in the science-religion dialogue through publishing and lecturing.
The Faraday Institute is named after the British scientist Michael Faraday who saw his faith as integral to his scientific research.
