Research and cooperation
The dialogue process in the ecumenical movement is central to the research of the Ecumenical Institute. Based on this, the Institute dedicates its research to ecumenical-theological questions. At the Institute, doctoral students and post-doctoral researchers from different denominations and cultures work on ecumenical and systematic-theological research topics and at the same time engage in ecumenical exchange.
