About Us

The Sri Lanka Christian Academics Network (SLCAN) is an independent network of Academics who seek to explore the responsibility that Academics have towards their disciplines, their students, their universities and their society from a Christian perspective. SLCAN is an inter-denominational Network and is open to all academics in Sri Lanka who consider themselves as followers of Christ.

The Network will have the following broad objectives:
  1. To support Christian academics in developing a Christian worldview, including their discipline and their role as academics.
  2. To nurture a faith-based community of support and encouragement for Christian academics.
