CLOSEThe Institute of Historical Research (IHR) is dedicated to the study of the political, economic, social, cultural, and environmental history of the Greek world and the wider regions where Hellenism has flourished, from prehistoric antiquity to the present day.
The Institute was established in 2012 through the merger of the three humanities research institutes of the National Hellenic Research Foundation (CGRA, CBR, andCINR), the oldest research centers in Greece devoted exclusively to historical and philological studies.
The IHR carries out research and educational activities that focus on historical documentation and interpretation, the production and dissemination of new knowledge, and the training of emerging scholars. In doing so, it contributes both to national self-understanding and to the international scholarly presence of Greece.
