The British School at Athens
Founded in 1886, the BSA is a UK-registered charity and is one of nine British International Research Institutes that receive annual funding from the British Academy. The School exists to promote research of international excellence in all disciplines pertaining to Greek lands, from fine art to archaeometry and in all periods to modern times. It does so through research and fieldwork; publications; supporting researchers with permits, fellowships and awards; its internationally renowned Library; the work of the Fitch Laboratory for Archaeological Science; promoting the use of its archival, laboratory, and museum collections by the scholarly community worldwide; a programme of regular events; and providing courses and internships for undergraduates, postgraduates, and schoolteachers. As part of its awards programme, the BSA hosts two poets in residence each year in partnership with the Michael Marks Awards for Poetry Pamphlets.
