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.
Newsroom
The Seminars on Greek and Roman Antiquity aim at presenting the most recent findings of research on the ancient Greek and Roman World, as well as on the wider region of the Eastern Mediterranean. They aspire to engage all disciplines relating to the study of the ancient world, focusing both on the written sources and on the material evidence, through the participation of experienced as well as younger scholars.
Co-organised by the Institute of Historical Research of the NHRF, the Department of History and Archaeology of the National Kapodistrian University of Athens and the École Française d’Athènes.

In this podcast, Kostas Tampakis, Senior Researcher in the Institute of Historical Research, talks about the relationship between scientific research and Orthodox religion in the 19th and 20th century. What was the relationship between sciences and orthodoxy in the modern Greek state? Why were there trials for atheism in Volos in the 20th century?
