Through this announcement the organisation of 6th Scientific Conference is made known under the title: “Naxos throughout the centuries”. This multithematic Conference, which takes place in the same spatio-temporal framework, in Naxos every five years and deals with issues of naxian long-term diachrony, will take place in the village of Damarionas (in particular Andronikeio Cultural Center) in central Naxos from August 30, 2018 to September 2, 2018.  We aim this Conference to be at a crossroads of scholars with broader research horizons, with different searching and methodological approaches which will pursue to palimpsest of naxian diachronic presence by shaping new fields and formulating new questions. Some indicative thematic axes are the following: Archaeology and Museology, History, Philology, Literary Criticism, Folklore and Social Anthropology, Law, Economics, Sociology, Demography, Medicine and Epidemiology, Architecture, Environment and Urban Planning, Political Science, Local Administrative and Self-Government Institutions, Journalism and Communication Technologies.
We also seek to give special attention to presentations which refer to:

• new research data regarding the contribution of Naxos to the revolution of Independence in view of 200 hundred years from 1821 and the origin of Ioannis Paparigopoulos (Diplomat, Revolutionary in Greek Independent’s War and member of Filiki Etaireia) from the village of Damarionas.
• scientific advancement of newer material monuments of Naxos, particularly those which are at risk to be destroyed and effort to be recorded along with the cooperation of the educational and student community of the island in order to create a relevant information base.
• issues of contemporary Naxian history and Naxian synchrony from the perspective of various cognitive disciplines (historical, relation with the past as well as material and intangible culture, linguistic, philological, folkloric, socio-anthropological, cultural, economic, demographic, sociological, environmental, urban planning, local institutional, etc)
• handled by researchers which come from various origins and orientations.
• expansion of research interest also in Small Cyclades (Donousa, Iraklia, Koufonisia, Schoinousa) which belong, according to the local government, to the same Municipality with Naxos as well as to broader cycladic scientific issues which have a direct Naxian relation.

                In this Conference scientists and researchers from Greece and abroad are invited to take part in order to present original topics which have Naxian reference and interest which have never been presented to another scientific event or published in that particular form.
