Institute for Neohellenic Research

The Institute for Neohellenic Research of the National Hellenic Research Foundation (INR / NHRF) was established in 1960, with the purpose of studying Modern Greek society in all its aspects, from the fifteenth century to the present. In order to accomplish this, the Institute carries on research programmes and projects covering cultural, social, economic and political history.

Its objectives are:

• To produce new historical knowledge based on a critical approach to historical events and sources: research projects carried out by the Institute's members result in original publications, produced either by the Institute in its various monograph and periodical series, or by independent publishers, or included in collective volumes and scholarly journals (in hard copies and/or electronically).
• To establish the Modern Greek paradigm in international scholarship: participation in and organization of international congresses and conferences, international publications, and the production of three academic periodical series (one bilingual in English and French, available in hard copy and on-line).
• To promote Greek and international collaboration: common programmes and projects with research institutes and universities in Greece and abroad.
• To train young researchers: through seminars and post-graduate programmes, in collaboration with universities and/or temporary employment on a project/contract basis.
  
• To supply the scientific and educational community with authoritative research tools: research projects' results, databases, books, articles and studies, thematic and chronological bibliographies, inventories of archives, indexes and editions of primary sources, translations of important studies, and various databases and digital collections are only some of the infrastructure projects that have been realized and are available on-line.
