EuARe 2020, Panel – Research in European Health Care Chaplaincy

Research in European Health Care Chaplaincy: projects, perspectives, and approaches
Traugott Roser (Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster)

Although Health Care Chaplaincy currently receives little attention in the international context and is rather underrepresented, much is happening in this area in research in Europe. This panel is intended to provide a platform for researchers to present and discuss their projects in the field of health care. In this way, it should become evident where the research on Health Care Chaplaincy currently stands in Europe, perspectives should be pointed out, where it can go, impulses should be given, considerations should be taken up, further thought should be given and new paths should be taken. The panel is open to projects from all fields, from (practical) theology as well as from other disciplines.
