Athens Institute is an Athens-based World Association of Academics and Researchers based in Athens. Athens
Institute is an independent and non-profit Association with a Mission to become a forum where Academics
and Researchers from all over the world can meet in Athens, exchange ideas on their research and discuss
future developments in their disciplines, as well as engage with professionals from other fields. Athens was
chosen because of its long history of academic gatherings, which go back thousands of years to Plato’s
Academy and Aristotle’s Lyceum. Both these historic places are within walking distance from Athens Institute’s
downtown offices. Since antiquity, Athens was an open city. In the words of Pericles, Athens“…is open to the
world, we never expel a foreigner from learning or seeing”. (“Pericles’ Funeral Oration”, in Thucydides, The
History of the Peloponnesian War). It is Athens Institute’s mission to revive the glory of Ancient Athens by
inviting the World Academic Community to the city, to learn from each other in an environment of freedom
and respect for other people’s opinions and beliefs. After all, the free expression of one’s opinion formed the
basis for the development of democracy, and Athens was its cradle. As it turned out, the Golden Age of Athens
was in fact, the Golden Age of the Western Civilization. Education and (Re)searching for the ‘truth’ are the
pillars of any free (democratic) society. This is the reason why Education and Research are the two core words
in Athens Institute’s name.
The Athens Journal of Demography & Anthropology (AJDA) is an Open Access quarterly double-
blind peer reviewed journal and considers papers from all areas of psychology. Many of the papers
published in this journal have been presented at the various conferences sponsored by
the Languages & Linguistics Unit and the Literature Unit of the Athens Institute for Education and
Research (ATINER). All papers are subject to ATINER’s Publication Ethical Policy and Statement.
