The National Hellenic Research Center ( Greek Εθνικό Ίδρυμα Ερευνών , Ethniko idryma erevnon , English National Hellenic Research Foundation , in short: NHRF , French Fondation Hellénique des Recherches Scientifiques ) is an organization for the implementation of multidisciplinary research in the fields of national history, nature and the technological sciences.
In the historical part, it supports research in the field of Greek , Byzantine and Neo- Greek studies . The directors of the departments of the Institute for Historical Research, which were run as independent institutes until 2012, were:
