The Von Hügel Institute

The Von Hügel Institute (VHI) is a research institute which was established to foster academic work on the relationship between Christianity and society. It is an integral part of St Edmund's College, University of Cambridge, and it preserves and develops the Roman Catholic tradition of the College. The VHI is inspired by Catholic Social Teaching and is open to all who share its values. It engages in a public debate on the most important ethical and religious issues of the present day through lectures, seminars and workshops and by research and analysis which informs Catholic social policy and practice. In this way the VHI acts in a broad ecumenical spirit and aims to contribute to the promotion of a more just, inclusive, sustainable and peaceful society.
