Conference Series KCID

Similarly to the previous work of the institutional predecessor of our research center, the research unit Key Concepts in Interreligious Discourses (KCID), BaFID organizes conferences with internationally renowned scholars three times a year. Each conference consists of two parts that focus on two essential, related concepts in Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Selected reports and recordings of these conferences are published online.
