International conference presentation opportunity for students and junior academics

The Athens Institute for Education and Research (ATINER) was established in 1995 and since then has organised more than 400 international conferences and other events and has published about 200 books. However, 2017 will only be the second Annual International Symposium on Religion and Theology hosted by ATINER in Athens, Greece on 22 to 25 May. The aim of this conference is to bring together academics and researchers of Religion, Theology and other related disciplines and one of the major advantages for students and junior academics it that the conferences organised by this organisation (all the different topics - not only religion) do not focus on specific themes within the disciplines. This opens the floor for Students to present their research on the topics of their choice and for junior academics to present on their current research projects without having to link it with a specific topic or theme. 


The conferences (different topics) are all hosted in Athens on an annual basis and all have three calls for proposals. The due date for abstracts for the upcoming Religion and Theology conference in May is April 1st 2017. These are not large symposiums (about 25 to 50 participants) and they are fashioned on  the ancient Greek Tradition of academic presentation. 

The International Symposium on Religion and Theology would be without doubt a wonderful event for Master and Doctoral students in Theology and Religion to present their research and get feedback from international scholars on their work. The organisers make an effort to have academics and researchers from as many countries as possible at the conferences and also include social events to promote networking opportunities for all participants. I am sure everyone would enjoy the Greek dinner and entertainment show, the one-day cruise to selected Greek Islands, the archaeological tour of Athens and a one day visit to Delphi which is included in this years' conference.
