Annual Institutional Week of the Fraknói Research Group in Rome - 2026

Between 17 and 25 May 2026, the Fraknói Research Group held its customary annual institutional week in Rome. As in 2023, 2024, and 2025, the Saint Stephen House (Szent István Ház) once again served as the group's base of operations, symbolically continuing the revival of the Hungarian Historical Institute in Rome. From there, participants set out each day to conduct research in the city's major archival and library collections.
