Message from the President of ATINER:
I hope and wish that you are doing well. We are living in the post-Covid-19 era after almost 5 years, as this also happened in ancient Athens in 431 BCE, so eloquently described by Thucydides, who, unlike Pericles, survived the pandemic.
Speaking of “survival”, ATINER, with the contribution of its members and friends, fared relatively well during the pandemic years, being able to offer all its academic events online and later a combination of online and onsite presentations. Starting in 2024, we have decided to restrict online presentations only to those who cannot obtain a visa to enter Greece and to those who cannot travel due to serious health reasons.
As you know, ATINER is an association of academics and researchers with a mission to organize small symposiums imitating the ancient Athenian symposiums. This usually entails the participation of between 20 and 50 academics, both presenters and attendees.
With the start of Covid-19, ATINER acquired larger downtown offices (at the heart of the city) which have 4-5 small lecture rooms, enabling us to host all our events at our premises.
Additionally, we have decided to introduce three new eJournals (psychology, politics/international affairs, and demography/population studies). If we are successful in this new endeavor, publication of the journals will start next year.
I do hope that you will be able to come to Athens this year and join one of our small events. In any case, I would love to have a brainstorming meeting with you.
