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, ATINER has organized more than
100 international conferences and has published over 80 books. Academically,
the Institute consists of four research divisions
and nineteen research
units. Each research unit organizes at least an annual conference and
undertakes various small and large research projects.
