ESSSAT is the European Society for the Study of Science and Theology. ESSSAT is a scholarly organization which exists exclusively to serve theological, scientific and educational purposes.

​

ESSSAT members include academic scholars and scientists, religious leaders and laypeople, who are interested in the relationship between the sciences (natural, social and human) and the world's religious traditions.

​

ESSSAT's Articles of Association (our charter document), explain our purposes as follows:

-          organizing conferences, either by itself or jointly with other organizations;
