As an output of the workshop, a cluster synopsis was also published by the European Commission, which provides an overview of 19 research projects dealing with ‘European pluralism, religions, tolerance and values’. The projects address issues such as the balance between individual and societal needs, notions of respect for otherness, and the role of pluralist societies in responding to increasing levels of diversity. The publication marks a first step in the process of supporting these projects to meet the policymaking challenges faced by European societies.
