The IFPO was established in 2002, combining three existing French institutes in the area: IFEAD (French Institute for Arab Studies in Damascus, established in 1922), IFAPO (French Institute of Near Eastern Archaeology, established in Syria and Lebanon in 1946) and CERMOC (Centre for Study and Research on the Contemporary Middle East, established in Lebanon in 1977 and Jordan in 1988). The IFPO holds the status of a "Joint Entity of French Research Institutes Abroad" (UMIFRE no6, Unité Mixte des Instituts français de recherche à l'étranger) and is under the aegis of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the CNRS (French National Centre for Scientific Research). In 2010, the IFPO opened a research center in the Erbil Citadel in Iraq.[4]
