The RECEPTIO Research Centre, founded in 2016, is an independent institution dedicated to manuscript studies, digital philology, historical research, and the protection of cultural heritage.
Over the years, the Centre has collaborated with numerous universities and international scholars. After the attacks suffered in 2022–2023, it continued its work under a new institutional structure, while preserving its scientific mission and research objectives.

During the academic year 2022–2023 — before the defamation campaign documented on this website — the Centre benefited from the academic support of an international Scientific Committee.
The scholars listed below contributed exclusively in an academic and advisory capacity within the framework of the Centre’s normal research activities. Their names are included here to document the institutional history of the Centre, not to imply any involvement in the events that later unfolded.

​

Following the attacks and security incidents that affected its former headquarters, the Centre continued its activities under a renewed organisational structure and with a new institutional seat in another European country, where its research work progresses uninterrupted.

The Centre remains active, maintains its long-standing academic mission, and continues to disseminate research through its official channels, including its YouTube platform, which is still fully operational:

Institutional Continuity

Despite the hostile actions faced between 2022 and 2023, the Centre has preserved:

• its academic direction;

• its international collaborations;

• its cultural and scientific mission;

• its digital archives and publications.

The change of legal and geographical framework was undertaken exclusively for reasons of safety and institutional protection, ensuring uninterrupted research and public dissemination.
