We are pleased to announce the release of the TAN Conference Provisional Programme, Mytilene 16-18 October 2025 provisional program. The event is coorganized by the University of the Aegean and the Department of Social Anthropology and History, the Association of Social Anthropologists Greece, and the WCAA Task Force on Anthropological Education and New Audiences, with the support of local partners and sponsors, and in scientific collaboration with the IUAES Commission on Anthropology and Education.
The response to our call for contributions has exceeded expectations: we received nearly 100 abstracts, and approximately 150 participants from around the world have already confirmed their attendance, both online and in person. We consider this a significant achievement for a specialized theme such as anthropological approaches to teaching and learning, with a particular focus on engaging new audiences in education.
The conference is designed as a broad forum for discussion, culminating in a final round table that will bring together contributions from 19 panels, 10 round tables, and 10 workshops. A bottom-up methodology has been adopted to give voice to TAN EASA members eager to collaborate with national, regional, and international networks.
Through this announcement, we would like to extend the invitation more widely to potential attendees, whether in person or online. Those interested may register by completing the following form (please click here) no later than October 4, 2025. Please note that participants who have already received a letter of acceptance for their abstracts and confirmed their participation are automatically registered and do not need to register again.
Both confirmed participants and those who register as attendees by October 3 will subsequently receive a form to select workshops, as well as technical instructions from the University of the Aegean to facilitate online access.

Practical information for your stay in Mytilene
We sincerely thank you for your cooperation and attention. We look forward to your active and constructive participation, which will further strengthen anthropological education in today’s global context. This effort is made possible through your contributions, starting from places often considered peripheral, such as Mytilene on the island of Lesbos, which will serve as the welcoming center of our discussions for three days.
