National Hellenic Research Foundation

is a non-profit, private-law legal entity established in 1958 with the aim of conducting interdisciplinary research in the fields of science and the humanities.

[9] Scientific research up to that time was carried out by universities and the Academy of Athens, so the most important efforts outside the NHRF were the establishment of the Greek Atomic Energy Commission (1954) and later "Democritos" (1961).

Another contributor to this effort was Charalambos Potamianos, a deputy commander, former aide to the king and also a member of the administration of the Royal National Foundation.

Furthermore, the participation of Leonidas Zervas, a professor of organic chemistry at the University of Athens and then a visiting researcher in the U.S., was important.

Among those wishing to participate were Xenophon Zolotas, Konstantinos Dimaras, Caesar Alexopoulos, Ioannis Saregiannis and Evangelos Papanoutsos.

[5] The money was invested by the Board of Directors of foundation on PPC (Greek Public Power Corporation) bonds with yields of approximately 8,000,000 drachmas and from 1963 to 1967 buying stores in Athens and Piraeus.

Eventually the competition did not take place, since a plot was chosen on the opposite side of "Vasileos Constantinou" street, eleven acres.

As it was situated on the outskirts of ancient Athens and the modern Greek capital, it was of semantic interest, given that the country's central and also the most important institution was in the heart of the state.

The reason for the direct assignment was that Zervas and Dimaras had proposed to undertake the study a mixed group of architects: three well-known and distinguished and three young people of the best.

The institute's research objectives are the historical documentation and interpretation, the diffusion of new knowledge, and the training of young scholars, thus contributing to national self-awareness and active presence in the international scientific community.

The individual sections that make up the institute are: Originally named "Center for Modern Greek Studies", it was founded on May 11, 1960, by an act of the Board of Directors of the then Royal Research Foundation and began operating in December of the same year.

His scientific activities include the production of print and digital publications, the creation of electronic applications of historical content, the organization of conferences and the development of an international network of collaborations on contemporary issues.

Dimaras [el] (1962-1972), Dionysios Zakythinos (1971-1975), Deputy Director Manusos Manusakas (1975-1980), Loukia Drarou (1981-1995), Vassilis Panagiotopoulos (1995-2000) Paschalis Kitromilides (2000-2012) and Taxiarchis Kolias (2012-2013).

In the first twenty years of the sector's activity, New Hellenism is autonomous as a research field and attempts to "inventory the country's intellectual treasures at national level".

His successors were Dionysios Zakythinos (1960-19750), Manusos Manusakas (1976-1980), Chryssa Maltezou (1980-1995), Nikolaos Economidis (1995-2000), Evangelos Chrysos (2000-2005) and from in 2006 to 2012 Taxiarchis Colias.

[25] Since its inception, the sector has been designed to enhance research and promote the history and culture of Byzantium and medieval Hellenism.

Testimonials from written sources, literary and archival, artwork and archaeological finds form the basis of the research.

The findings of the research are published in three internationally acclaimed scientific journals: Tekmeria,[29] Βyzantina Symmeikta,[30] and Historical Review,[31] as well as in individual volumes.

[34][35] Its goal is to develop an interdisciplinary research approach in areas such as biotechnology, medicine and health, being a focal point of innovation at the interface of Chemistry and Biology.

ICB also organizes seminars, workshops and conferences with national and international participation by major scientists, with an emphasis on Chemical Biology.

[45] The institute's infrastructures include laboratories of computational physics & chemistry, synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of new materials, as well as photonics & applications and spectroscopy.

The institute's facilities include laboratories of computational physics and chemistry, synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of new materials, as well as photonics and applications and laser spectroscopy.

Also an important part of TPCI's activity is the education and training of new undergraduate, postgraduate and postdoctoral scientists in the methodology and practice of modern research.
