The Centre de recherche d’Histoire et Civilisation de Byzance was created in 1972. Upon the Center’s inception, the CNRS asked Paul Lemerle to draw together common research programs, with as many French scholars specializing in that field as possible, in order to mutualize means. Today, the goals remain the same. Under the direction of Gilbert Dagron, the associate research unit URA (Unité de Recherches associée) has grown. On January 1st, 1996, it became a mixed research unit UMR (Unité Mixte de Recherche).
