Workshops

The Local Societies Initiative is intended to foster the dialogue between religion and science by making available three-year $15,000 grants to groups dedicated to an open and exploratory discussion of the issues raised by these two great pillars of human culture. The workshops are designed to help current and prospective local societies improve their organizational skills, creativity, outreach, and intellectual activities.

Representatives from over 20 new local societies, grantees of the Local Societies Initiative program, will be in attendance to share their work through an exciting Poster Session that will describe what they have accomplished and plans for the future. A number of $10,000 supplemental grants will be awarded to those groups demonstrating particular ingenuity, creativity and effectiveness.
