Centre intercantonal d'information sur les croyances

The Centre intercantonal d'information sur les croyances (CIC) is a publicly funded Swiss organization based in Geneva that provides information on religious beliefs in French-speaking Switzerland.

CIC was founded when, following the Order of the Solar Temple deaths in the 1990s, the cantons of Geneva, Vaud, Valais and Ticino decided to fund the creation of an information center focusing on religious beliefs in 2001.

[2][5] The new organization aimed to both be preventative of future issues and to address the Swiss population's concerns following the Solar Temple deaths.

[2][9][10] CIC staff are trained in the study and sociology of religion and the organization aims for cooperation with relevant academia; it is not an anti-cult group.

[11][2] CIC provides consultation on the topic of religious beliefs, as well as documentation, research resources and referrals to psychological and legal help.
