A central part of the work of the CES is the transfer of knowledge between the university and the church, between academic research and church or school work. A lively exchange with full-time and volunteer workers from communities, schools and social welfare organizations enriches our research, and conversely we make research results fruitful for practice.

CES scientists give regular lectures in synods and working groups, are involved in further training courses for full-time and volunteer workers and publish working papers and handouts for practical use. CES events are aimed at those responsible from practice and bring them into conversation with students and scientists.
