Education

The Education Unit of the Athens Institute organizes its 28^th Annual International Conference on Education, 18-22 May 2026, Athens, Greece sponsored by the Athens Journal of Education.

The aim of this conference is to bring together scholars and students of Education, Pedagogy, and other related disciplines in order to discuss all aspects and latest developments within the related fields. These areas of research include history, sociology, philosophy, psychology, economics of education, education policies and laws, science education, and even media, communication and technology studies, race and ethnic studies, feminist and cultural studies, and every conceivable scientific area that pertains to all levels of education – primary, secondary and higher.

In the spirit of this interdisciplinary approach, papers (in English) from all the aforementioned scientific and research areas are welcome. You may participate as a presenter of one paper, chair or/and organizer of a session or an observer.

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