The project aims at analysing the international dataset of the European Values Study (EVS) 2017 – 2020 with a focus on political values and their relationship to religion from empirical as well as theoretical perspectives, i.e. sociology, political and cultural studies, philosophy, ethics, theology and law.

Thereby we ensure academic quality, international relevance, visibility and impact. A media-guided and open-space book launch at the University of Vienna with international politicians, scholars and multiplying practitioners from European countries ensures an active participation and discussion of the results as well as a fruitful dissemination among the beneficiary groups such as the international academic community, multipliers from international, national and local politics and civil society, the media, educational institutions and religious communities.
