The
Athens Institute for Education and Research (ATINER) was established in
1995 as an independent academic association with the mission to become a
forum, where academics and researchers - from all over the world -
could meet in Athens to exchange ideas on their research and to discuss
future developments in their disciplines. Since 1995, ATINER has
organized more than 200 international conferences, symposiums and
events. It has also published approximately 150 books. Academically, the Institute consists of five Research Divisions and twenty-three Research Units.
Each Research Unit organizes an annual conference and undertakes
various small and large research projects. Academics and researchers are
more than welcome to become members and contribute to ATINER's
objectives. The members of the Institute can undertake a number of academic activities. If you want to become a member, please download the form (membership form). For more information or suggestions, please send an email to: info@atiner.gr.

The
Course of Economic Sciences at the State University of Maringá, created
in 1961, completed 51 years in 2012. A pioneering initiative to create
an economics course in a region in the process of colonization, as it
was the northern region of Paraná, represented the genesis of Maringá
State University (UEM). Created in 1969,UEM merged from the three
faculties in Brazil. In 1970, the UEM, by the State Law, was nominated
as FundaçãoUniversidadeEstadual de Maringá (FUEM). It received its
position as autarchy in 1991. With its growing involvement in a global
basis, this institution developed well-known faculties and undergraduate
and graduate courses in social sciences, particularly in Economics and
Business Administration. The UEM has one campus in Maringá, and four
campuses nearby Maringá in several cities. It includes seven Centers of
Studies, as well, 48 undergraduate courses and post-graduation courses
in Master and Doctorate level in several areas. The Campus has well
developed research facilities (equipment, laboratories, centres, etc.)
for a great amount of research outputs (projects, programmes,
publications, conferences and seminars etc.) distributed in every area
of knowledge. Today, UEM is among the top 20 universities in Brazil, in
terms of teaching and research.
