The Byzantine Society, also known by the initials OUBS (Oxford University, Byzantine Society)[1] is one of the societies founded at the University of Oxford,[2][3] to spread Byzantine Studies and Medieval and Modern Greek, not only within the university, but also nationally and internationally.[4][5] Even though Medieval and Classical Greek, along with Latin, have been part of the curriculum in humanistic studies for centuries at Oxford,[6][7] the society as such was not founded until the last decades of the 20th century.[8]
Besides, scholars at the University of Oxford have played a relevant role in shaping Byzantium as a modern academic field. Postgraduate students in Late Antique and Byzantine Studies, and society members from around the world have become part of a community comprising over one hundred scholars and students.
The presence of Byzantine Studies at this university is mainly composed of the Oxford Centre for Late Antiquity, and the Oxford Centre for Byzantine Research, which organizes regular seminars and conferences, plus the Oxford University Byzantine Society. Moreover, the society arranges an annual postgraduate research trip to different parts of the former late antique and Byzantine worlds.[9][10]
Along with other notable societies like the Oxford Union Society, members of all constituent colleges, sister colleges, and alumni in general can be part of the institution.[11][12]
Since 2013, the OUBS has organized an annual conference that brings together researchers on the subject from all over the globe, bringing together historians, philologists, archaeologists and scientists from varied fields.[13][14][15]
