Public Discourse for a Disconnected Age

Scotland’s home for public discussion at the intersection of faith, science, ethics, and discourse.

The Albertus Institute provides a space for the thinking public in Scotland to engage with the challenging questions of the day - from belief in the scientific age to ethical action in a contested world - bringing together scholars and experts to encourage public discourse.

What’s coming next

We are delighted to present our annual Albertus lecture given by Dr Tracy Wietecha titled Albert the Great on Becoming Fully Human: Virtue, Judgement, and Perfection

Dr Wietecha will open the Future of Humanity programme for the Albertus institute with her opening lecture and subsequent reception. Learn More
