We invite proposals for short papers and panels on the theme of the conference or on other aspects of the interactions of science and religion. Deadline is December 10, 2020. Those who had a paper accepted for the 2020 conference, need not apply again for 2021, as accepted remains accepted.
We hope to be able to create additional time slots, perhaps in the afternoons, to incorporate participants interested in presenting their ideas as relevant to the conference theme or religion and science in general. Proposals will be peer-reviewed. Topics can be approached from various perspectives, such as science, philosophy, religious studies or theology, history, psychology or sociology. They may consider traditions such as Christianity, Islam or Buddhism; contemporary developments such as religious naturalism, spirituality, or the rise of nones; naturalism in relation to philosophical topics such as moral motivation and values, consciousness, mathematics, or scientific methodology; the history of any such developments; their usefulness in addressing individual needs or global and planetary concerns; and so on.
We look forward as well to proposals for panels with up to four participants, addressing a particular issue from multiple angles.

Proposals should include an abstract of not more than 400 words, with 5 to 10 keywords. If the proposal is for a panel, please indicate the topic to be discussed and list the intended panelists in the abstract. Proposals can be submitted using the form on the right. ​
With questions on short papers and panels, please approach Willem B. Drees, [email protected].
