The Institute for Interreligious Studies (registered charity) is an
association of educationalists, theologians, teachers, economists and other
interested people who want to promote interfaith dialogue through encounters
and publications.
The members think that dialogue between various
religions and ideologies, which they want to carry out through encounter in
communications and discussions, is highly necessary.
Encounters with, and experiences of different faiths have to be accompanied by observation, analysis and careful evaluation supported by theological, historical and educational research.
The Interreligiöse Arbeitsstelle (which has thematically-orientated, temporary subgroups) believes that strengthening the openness towards other religions, and theologically supporting it and deepening it, is a priority. Therefor the idea of tolerance and reconciliation should be extensively promoted.

Through practical encounters, meetings,
meditations, and the study of specialist literature in this field information
should be increased and spread. The Interreligiöse
Arbeitsstelle therefore maintains, seeks, and extends contacts with
inter-religious organizations and institutions in order to participate in the
network of international reconciliation and peace work.
We offer each year the INTR°A Project Award for the Complementation of the Religions in
the context of a competition (with
5000 € for the winner).
The further development and spreading of received knowledge and results is an important task, but so also is the documentation of interim findings.

Such activities are an important characteristic
of inter-religious work and should be closely related to educational theory
and teaching practice in the life of schools.
Taking into account the fact that our world is challenged by various mortal threats, we need dialogue-orientated contributions in order to perceive the future more authentically than before.
