The Warwick Religions and Education Research Unit (WRERU) was established in 1994, under the Directorship of Professor Robert Jackson, on the formation of the Institute of Education at the University of Warwick. WRERU absorbed the various research studies previously combined within the Religious Education and Community Project based in the former Arts Education Department at Warwick University. WRERU received the Templeton UK Award in 1996 for its contribution to intercultural understanding through the study of religious diversity in education. Professor Leslie Francis took over from Professor Robert Jackson as director of WRERU in October 2012.
WRERU undertakes externally funded research and development projects in religions and education and related fields. WRERU's research on Religions and Education contributes especially to the Warwick Educational Unit of Assessment’s research theme on 'Culture and Identity'. Although the bulk of WRERU's research is directly on the sub theme of ‘Religions and Education’, some of its work contributes to other sub themes such as 'Intercultural Communication and Identity' and 'Quality of Life, Belief and Youth'.
