What positions do the world religions take on the topic of the world exposition EXPO 2000 in Hannover on `Humankind, Nature, Technology'? What can the world religions contribute to illuminate the topic? How can EXPO 2000 as a meeting point for ideas and knowledge contribute to dialogue among the world religions and lessen tensions and conflicts? The Hannover Institute of Philosophical Research is carrying out the project `Humankind, Nature, Technology in the Perspective of the Religions. A Discourse of the World Religions' with the support of the Stiftung Niedersachsen — the Foundation of Lower Saxony in Emden, Germany and at the site of the EXPO 2000 at Hannover in the years 1999 and 2000, thus before and during the world exposition.
