The research projects of the Section of Neohellenic Research (SNR) focus on the political, social, economic, and cultural history of Modern Hellenism (15th-21st centuries) within the broader Balkan, European, and Mediterranean context. The diverse programs of the SNR reflect the established tradition of its researchers, but also attempt new approaches with new methodological tools. Since 2025, they have been integrated into five broad scientific clusters, which cover the entire spectrum of contemporary historical research and serve as common points of reference for both the Institute as a whole and the TNE.
