IRAS
The Institute on Religion in an Age of Science
Purpose—IRAS () is an independent society of scientists, philosophers, religion scholars, theologians, and others who want to understand the role of religion in our dynamic scientific world.
Activities—Each year IRAS organizes a week‐long conference. Topics are selected to be relevant to current scientific thinking and to fundamental religious questions. (IRAS members pay a reduced rate for conference registration.) IRAS organizes events at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), and IRAS members help organize sessions at the American Academy of Religion (AAR). IRAS has sponsored more than 250 meetings at universities, colleges, and theological schools. IRAS members may also join the lively online discussion group, and thus learn about new developments and publications, express their views, and become familiar with those of others.
Publications—Zygon: Journal of Religion and Science and IRAS Newsletter. IRAS members receive subscriptions to these publications free of additional charge.
Special Relationship—Affiliated Society, American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).
