Ecole française d’Athènes
The Ecole française d'Athènes is a scholarly, cultural and professional establishment under the authority of the French Ministry for Higher Education and Research. It has a fundamental mission for research and research training in all disciplines relating to Ancient Greece and Greece in the Byzantine period, as well as the study of Greece and Balkan countries in Medieval, Modern and Contemporary history. Providing a venue for scholarly exchanges in these fields, the EfA welcomes high-level members, researchers and teacher-researchers as well as scholarship funded students. It has been in existence since 1846.
The École française d'Extrême-Orient (EFEO) is ceasing its activity on X (formerly Twitter). This decision is due to the editorial evolution of the platform which, by breaking with the European code of good practice against online disinformation, has become incompatible with the values of a French public institution of higher education and research. The EFEO, like a number of universities and higher education establishments, has therefore decided to no longer have an active account on the X network, a decision put into practice on 20 January 2025.
It is with great sadness that we learn of the death of Pierre-Sylvain Filliozat, which occurred in Paris on 28 December 2024.
Our thoughts are with his family and friends in Europe and India.
