The aim of the stream is to bring together scholars and students of Byzantine Studies, focusing on the areas of History and Arts. The fields of study implied are quite broad, covering all aspects and periods of byzantine history (politics, economics, society, religion etc), and all forms and periods of byzantine art, from church architecture, iconography and mosaics, to minor arts, like metalwork, hardstone carving and jewelry, including artistic traditions of other cities that inherited and/or still maintain the byzantine style. Moreover, the stream will look at Byzantium role as a bridge between the classical and modern world, as well as its significant legacy to the social, political and cultural development of the Near East, Russia, Eastern Europe, and the West. You may participate as presenter of one paper, chair or/and organiser of a session, or observer. Fee structure information is available on www.atiner.gr/fees. Special arrangements will be made with a local hotel for a limited number of rooms at a special conference rate. In addition, a number of special events will be organized: A pragmatic symposium (as organized in Ancient Athens but fine tuned to synchronous ethics), a special one-day educational island tour, an Athens educational walking tour, and an one-day visit to Delphi. Details of the social program are available here. Please submit an abstract (email only) to: [email protected], using the abstract submission form by 20 November 2017 to: Dr. Nicholas Pappas, Honorary President, ATINER & Professor of History, Sam Houston University, USA.

Papanikos, President, ATINER & Honorary Professor, University of Stirling, UK ([email protected]).
