Athens Institute

Athens Institute is an independent, worldwide, member-based association of academics and researchers. Athens was chosen as the meeting place due to its rich history and culture. The Athens Institute’s mission is to serve as a forum where academics and researchers from around the world can come together to exchange ideas on their research and discuss the future developments in their respective fields. The Athens Institute aims to revive Athens’ long historical tradition by organizing and hosting small academic meetings while also promoting research and producing publications. Since 1995, the Athens Institute has organized over such academic events, attended by scholars from nearly a thousand universities and other academic institutions in 120 different countries around the world. A guide to the Athens Institute’s academic events is available here. Additionally, the organization has published more than 200 books. In 2012, the Association launched a series of conference paper publications featuring close to 1500 papers on various subjects. In 2014, they introduced a series of e-journals. Academically, the association is organized into seven Divisions and thirty-seven Units. Each Unit organizes at least one Annual International Conference and undertakes various small and large research projects. The Athens Institute encourages other institutions to participate as joint members in these research projects.
