The Athens Institute for Education and Research (ATINER) was established
in 1995 as an independent academic organization with the mission to
become a forum where academics and researchers from all over the world
could meet in Athens and exchange ideas on their research and discuss
the future developments of their discipline. Since 1995, more than 60
international conferences were organized and more than 50 books have
been published. The Institute is organized into four research divisions
and seventeen research units. Each research unit organizes at least an
annual conference and undertakes various small and large research 
projects.

The registration fee is 250 (euro), covering access to all sessions, 2
lunches, coffee breaks, and conference material. Special arrangements
will be made with local hotels for a limited number of rooms at a
special conference rate. In addition, a number of special events will be
organized: A Greek night of entertainment, a special one-day cruise in
the Greek islands and a half-day tour around the wider area of Athens
(Attica).
