Philhellenism has been one of the research fields of the Institute of HistoricalResearch since its very creation. The relevant inquiries were initiated in 1960by Loukia Droulia (1931–2019), who devoted much of her work on the issue,dedicated her thesis to it (1974) and compiled the bibliography of philhellenism,which remains the basic research tool for studies on the subject (1st ed. 1974;2nd rev. ed. 2017). Therefore, it was due and expected that philhellenism wouldform part of the Institute’s academic activities during the bicentenary of theoutbreak of the Greek War of Independence (1821). In October 2021 in Athens,the Institute organised an international conference on “National Movementsand Philhellenism”, the proceedings of which are due to be published in Greekin 2022.
