Thus, a deeper and broader reflection is needed, addressing culture and religion in the various institutional and community instances, within a complex and multifaceted perspective, seeking to highlight the various religious expressions and religiosity and existing cultures, as the axis of research, with relevance both nationally and internationally and an important object of scientific investigation. The Center for Interdepartmental, Interinstitutional and International Research and Studies in Cultures and Religions (CEPICR) is of great relevance to the State University of Bahia;

Meets the conception of multicampia at the State University of Bahia.
