The Athens Institute for Education and Research (ATINER)was established 
in 1995 as an independent world association of Academics and 
Researchers. Its mission is to act as a forum where Academics and 
Researchers from all over the world can meet in Athens, in order to 
exchange ideas on their research, and to discuss future developments in 
their disciplines.

The organizing and hosting of International Conferences and Symposiums 
<http://www.atiner.gr/Conferences.htm>, the carrying out of Research, 
and the production of Publications are the basic activities of ATINER. 
Since 1995, ATINER has organized more than 400 International Conferences 
and other events, and has published close to 200 books 
<http://www.atiner.gr/Publications.htm>. In 2012, the Association 
launched a series of conference paper publications (click here 
<http://www.atiner.gr/papers.htm>), and at the beginning of 2014, it 
introduced its own series of Journals (click here 
<http://www.athensjournals.gr/>).

Academically, the Association is organized into seven Research Divisions 
<http://www.atiner.gr/RESEARCH-DIVISIONS.htm> and fourty Research Units 
<http://www.atiner.gr/RESEARCH-DIVISIONS.htm>.  Each Research Unit 
organizes at least an Annual International Conference, and may also
