University of Chile Center for Byzantine and Neohellenic Studies
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Universidad de Chile Center for Byzantine and Neohellenic Studies is an institution which for over fifty years has been dedicated to the study of Greek history and culture. The centre is located in Santiago and operates within the Universidad de Chile system. Since its founding, the center has been headquartered at the Greek Pavilion, a building donated to Universidad de Chile by Messrs. Gabriel and Jorge Mustakis Dragonas, General Consuls of Greece in Santiago and Valparaíso, respectively. Since 1998, the institution's official name is Centro de Estudios Griegos Bizantinos y Neohelénicos Fotios Malleros. The centre's research field and teaching extends to Greek culture's three great social and political stages: Ancient, Byzantine and Neo-Greek.
The institute has been a mainstay in relations between Chile and Greece.[1]
