Culture & Civilization

The Arts & Culture Unit of ATINER is organizing the 9^th Annual International Symposium on Culture and Civilization, 10-13 June 2024, Athens, Greece.

This year the symposium will be centered around the themes of History, Conservation, Economics and Tourism. Those four terms, tough they exist in their own right, they are nevertheless inextricably connected by the word culture.

Thus, the primary aim of this conference highlights this particular aspect, as it provides a platform for academics, experts, educators and interested public who wish to present their innovative ideas relating to the core theme of culture, but at the same time encompass the most wide-ranging disciplines in the academic world. They include history, cultural heritage, humanities, philosophy, economics, law, sociology, chemistry, biology, architecture, engineering, education, information technology, and the various streams of the performing arts: music, cinema, theatre, books, archives and others connected to the topics in the Symposium title. The Symposium is therefore an interdisciplinary opportunity for everyone to scientifically share and exchange, and consider and compare, their ideas.

You may participate as a stream leader, presenter of one paper, chair of a session or observer. As is the case with the many small symposiums organized every week during the May-July period an effort is made to bring disciplines together such as Arts, Culture and Tourism.

Consistent with the theme of ATINER’s small academic events, all programs may include a few sessions on current topics in education and research.

Please submit an abstract (email only) to: atiner@atiner.gr, using the abstract submission form by 7 November 2023 to: Dr. Gregory T. Papanikos, President, ATINER  and Dr. Maria-Irini Avgoulas, Academic Member & Cultural Counselling and Consultancy, Australia. Abstracts should include the following: Title of Paper, Full Name (s), Affiliation, Current Position, an email address, and at least 3 keywords that best describe the subject of your submission.

Papanikos, President, ATINER (president@atiner.gr).
