The Lord Byron Foundation for Balkan Studies was co-founded in 1994 by the late Alfred Sherman as 'a non-partisan research center devoted to studying the Balkan Peninsula in all its aspects'. [1]

Its research and activities are purportedly 'designed to correct the current trend of public commentary, which tends, systematically, not to understand events but to construct a version of Southeast European rivalries that fits daily political requirements'.

The Foundation 'is named after a great Western poet who gave his life in the fight to free Balkan Christians from Islamic rule'.[1]
