ReD Global

Acrónimo: ReD Global

Objetivo temático: Religious Diversity in a Globalised World (ReD Global) is a two-year, international, Erasmus Mundus Joint Master (EMJM) programme with a unique focus on the role of religious identities and diversity, and their complex interplay with processes of globalisation. The increasing heterogeneity of societies has strained democracies across the globe, thrusting issues of religious prejudice and intolerance, often born of ignorance, into the public limelight.

Within that context, ReD Global contributes to the urgent need for greater religious literacy and understanding. Graduates of the ReD Global Partnership will have a solid historical and theoretical foundation, coupled with the ability to perceive continuities across time and space, enabling them to efficiently and effectively address modern-day societal challenges.

ReD Global attracts the best students worldwide, who benefit from an integrated international and cross-sectoral programme. Students design their own flexible learning pathway, selecting international hosting institutions from the second semester, and either a Research or a Professional Track in Year 2.

ReD Global trains approximately one hundred individuals across four student cohorts, implemented between 2023 and 2028. The Consortium consists of three degree-awarding Full Partners in Europe, and six Academic Associated Partners in Europe and Latin America. Moreover, more than twenty professional organisations have expressed their support for ReD Global. They contribute to programme implementation via, for example, internship placements, guest lectures, and co-supervision. Additionally, selected organisations participate in the Programme Advisory Committee, ensuring the programme’s continued societal relevance.

ReD Global graduates receive a double master’s degree from two of the following European institutions: University of Groningen (The Netherlands, Coordinator), Universidad de Córdoba (Spain) and Universidade de Coimbra (Portugal).
