The DISF Center's web portal celebrates 25 years
The web portal of the Interdisciplinary Documentation Center for Science and Faith (disf.org) celebrates its 25th anniversary. It was conceived, founded, and then directed by Prof. Giuseppe Tanzella-Nitti, a professor of Fundamental Theology at Santa Croce.
The domain registration took place on July 21, 1999, initiated by Dr. Michele Crudele, who is now the Advisor for IT Services and was formerly the Director of the ELIS Center in Rome.
The acronym DISF, linked to the nascent Interdisciplinary Dictionary of Science and Faith, was registered. Crudele began designing it together with Alberto Strumia, a professor of Mathematical Physics at the University of Bari. Although the dictionary was published only three years later, the domain was used to prepare the project and support the authors.
A significant turning point occurred in 2003 with the support of the Italian Episcopal Conference, which enabled the development of the site. In 2006, the domain inters.org was registered for the English version of the dictionary, with the support of the Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences in Berkeley.
