UCSIA-IJS Chair on Jewish-Christian relations

The UCSIA-IJS Chair promotes the study of the history of Judaism and Hebraism from the perspective of Jewish-Christian dialogue. From this point of view, we interpret the place of this tradition in contemporary European culture and interfaith culture.

The chair consists of an academic component for students and researchers (for example, a guest lecture, a master class or an academic workshop) and a lecture for the broader audience.

Prof. dr. Vivian Liska is the coordinator of the chair at the IJS. An internationally renowned foreign academic holds the chair.

In the 2008-2009 academic year, UCSIA and the Institute of Jewish Studies (IJS) at the University of Antwerp organised the chair for the first time.
