Vasileios Syros (Greek: Βασίλειος Σύρος) is a Greek-Finnish historian of political thought, Fellow at Clare Hall, University of Cambridge,[1] and the Director of the Early Modern Greek Culture Program at The Medici Archive Project in Florence, Italy.[2] He is also Senior Research Fellow at the Institute for European Global Studies at the University of Basel.[3] His main research and teaching interests lie in the comparative examination of the medieval and early modern Christian, Islamic, and Jewish political traditions.[4] A second cluster of his research looks at intercultural contacts between pre-modern Europe and non-Western societies and polities, especially the Byzantine, Mughal, and Ottoman Empires. Syros also works on the comparative study of diverse models of leadership and cultural diplomacy.

He has taught at Stanford University,[10] McGill University, The University of Chicago, the École Pratique des Hautes Études (Paris), and the University of Navarra (Spain)[11]. In 2017/2018 he was appointed Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) Visiting Professor and Descartes Senior Fellow at the Descartes Centre for the History and Philosophy of the Sciences and the Humanities at Utrecht University.[12] He has also taught comparative political theory and cross-cultural leadership at Beijing University and Nankai University (China), Sungkyunkwan University (South Korea), Waseda University (Japan), and Al-Farabi Kazakh National University (Kazakhstan).[5][13] Syros frequently consults with NATO, OSCE, and government agencies about cultural property protection and crisis management.
