The Institute of Historical Research of the National Hellenic Research Foundation conducts research on the political, economic, social and cultural history of Greek and Roman Antiquity, Byzantium and modern Hellenism. Logo depicts the Capital letters of the Greek title (Ινστιτούτο Ιστορικών Ερευνών) IIE, emphasizing by altering font and color, on the second I which stands for “historical”. The general logo shape forms a square which, at the same time, refers to the base of a pillar which in this case supports the research project.
