Becoming Part

Commitment

Fellows of the Collegium Emmaus commit themselves to our activities and devote some of their time and research to the purposes of the research programme (broadly conceived).

Our annual joint events include:

1. a summer study-week with a scholar-practitioner collaborative,
2. a colloquium and full participation in the Forum Faith & Society.

Alumni are warmly invited to attend one day of our study-week devoted to church renewal, as well as the Forum Faith & Society including the Collegium Emmaus colloquium.

Requirements

Fellow Professors may recommend their doctoral students for membership, and postdoctoral researchers apply to the board. The final decision to accept someone into the programme is taken by the board, which reserves the right to reject applications.

Members who wish to do so can leave the programme at any time but need to inform the professors of their decision, who will then communicate with the board.

Doctoral students who are part of the programme regularly enroll as doctoral students in their home university through whatever (structured or non-structured) doctoral programmes they wish.

Their participation in and contribution to the activities of the Collegium Emmaus can be made extrinsically compatible with the requirements of structural doctoral programmes (i.e., they can retrospectively be awarded credits for it). In principle, the provisions and regulations of the enrolling university apply.

All members of the Collegium Emmaus are encouraged to link their research to some kind of engagement in the church (be this through teaching, preaching, youth work etc.) and/or for the common good of the wider society.
