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 100
international conferences were organized and more than 80
books have
been published. The Institute is organized into four
research
divisions and 19
research
units. Each research unit organizes at least an annual conference and
undertakes various small- and large-scale research projects.
