About this congress
The 25th International Congress of Byzantine Studies (ICBS 2026) is the world's largest academic gathering dedicated to Byzantine Studies, bringing together scholars from around the globe. Since its first meeting in 1924, this congress has been a cornerstone for cutting-edge research on the Byzantine Empire, its history, and culture. The upcoming Vienna 2026 Congress promises hundreds of scholarly presentations, engaging discussions, and cultural events, making Byzantine research more accessible to wider audiences. The congress theme is 'Byzantium beyond Byzantium', which explores the influence of Byzantine culture by expanding the geographical scope beyond the boundaries of the Byzantine Empire and the chronological framework beyond the fall of Constantinople.
