CLOSEThe Section of Byzantine Research of the Institute of Historical Research (IHR) was established in 1960 as the Center for Byzantine Research (CBR), with the mission of advancing research and fostering awareness of the history and culture of Byzantium and medieval Hellenism. Its research activities are organised within specific thematic areas into specialised projects that encompass a wide range of fields and disciplines. The relevant studies draw on evidence from literary and archival sources, works of art, and archaeological findings. The projects also investigate Byzantium’s interactions with medieval Europe, the Balkans, and the wider Eastern Mediterranean.
