In 2015, an ongoing methodological seminar on theological research began. The main goal of the seminar is to help participants move from an information-coded approach to education whose purpose is to convey a summary of knowledge, to a methodological approach, oriented toward the development of a culture of thought and the capability to absorb and work out new knowledge as it is needed over the course of a human life.
