The Programme ISIFPB is a kind of electronic Encyclopedia of Byzantine History, where the over 45.000 text excerpts (included in a total of approximately 65.000 entries, corresponding to about 600.000 links) can be combined or cross-referenced in various ways (i.e. combinations of names of persons and their capacities, names of persons and geographical locations, chronologies and bibliography) in order to aid and support all types of historical and philological treatises as well as major handbooks. The Programme was updated in 2009, and so far has produced and published 14 books/monographs - according to their acknowledgements, and a number of minor studies and articles. The following major collective works were also published by the Programme:

  1. Η Μικρά Ασία των Θεμάτων / Asia Minor of the Themes, 1998.
  2. Regesten der Kaiserurkunden des ostromischen Reiches von 476-565, 2005.
  3. Byzantine Diplomacy. A Seminar, 2007.
  4. Βυζαντινά στρατεύματα στη Δύση/ Byzantine armies in the West, 2008.

The collaborators of the Programme are active in several research fields (textual analysis, Byzantine administration, relations with the West, institutions, military history, diplomacy etc.). They give lectures after invitation and occasionally teach at Research Seminars and, somewhat less frequently, at Universities.
