CiS Ireland brings together those with an interest in science and faith on the island of Ireland. We hold regular meetings, including the God and Science Lectures in various locations in Ireland, and our meetings are open to all who have a genuine interest in science-faith issues. We also organise the annual E.T.S. Walton Lecture on Science and Religion.

A Shared Vocation: How can we live for Christ in the University?

This is a one-day conference held in Trinity Church, Gardiner Street, Dublin on Saturday 20 June. The conference features academics from across Ireland and is organised in collaboration with Christian Unions Ireland (CUI). For more information and to register for the conference visit:
