Although only three years old, some of the Center's programs, such as visiting professors, seminars, and staff training, have gradually become regular. 2011 promises to include a library development program. With over 650 pages, the proceedings select more than 30 articles from Vietnamese and foreign scholars, covering two main areas: Fundamental theoretical issues of religious culture and Some issues of Christian and Buddhist culture.
