2025 Material Realities of Prayer – WG1 Online Meetings 

Following the decision made at the first General Meeting held in Zagreb (February 2025), WG1 leaders, Stefan Matter and Sara Carreño, have organized a series of regular online meetings throughout this first year of the Action. These sessions provide WG1 members with an opportunity to present their research lines and projects in a concise format, usually featuring 2–3 speakers, with the aim of identifying potential synergies within the group and building a forum for open discussion. 

During 2025, a total of five WG1 online meetings were held, featuring presentations by: 

Anna Dlabacova (Universiteit Leiden, Netherlands) 

Suna Cagaptay (Mugla Sitki Kocman University, Turkey)
