As of 1 January, the Franciscan Study Center has become a full part of the Tilburg School of Catholic Theology (TST), and the reopening will be celebrated on 30 January. The study center was founded in 1985 by the three Franciscan orders: Franciscans, Conventuals, and Capuchins. The reopening aims to foster closer cooperation between the center and the faculty with other academic disciplines and in relation to social and university-wide issues, particularly broad prosperity. A conversation with coordinator Krijn Pansters about the background and the lasting significance of Francis, who died 800 years ago and is being commemorated worldwide this year.
