Since the beginning of the project, two postdoctoral fellows, two visiting researchers and two student assistants have joined the SOCMED team. The team has conducted archival and oral history research in five countries so far, and have published six articles in international journals, and one chapter accepted in an edited volume, which will be published in 2024. SOCMED has held its first scientific workshop on October 9-10, with 21 participants from 11 countries at Harnack-Haus, Max Planck Society, Berlin. The results of the workshop are to be published as a special journal issue in the European Journal for the History of Medicine and Health in Gold Open Access. The journal has accepted the issue proposal and it is scheduled to be published in 2025. The research group has been running a monthly seminar series since the beginning of the 2023/24 academic year. Speakers have been invited from various European universities to present original research. Participants in the seminar regularly attend from 3-4 universities and/or research institutions. SOCMED has developed an ongoing collaboration with the two research groups, based at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science and Charité respectively. The collaboration, titled Health Beyond medicine has organized a common seminar series (2022-23), a Health Beyond Medicine full-day workshop (February 2024). The collaboration's next event will be a major international conference held at Humboldt University in 2025. The project team's website has been attracting a wide readership and we have been informing the public about project events, results, and have launched a podcast series, featuring some of the speakers in our seminars and/or workshops. Project members have been disseminating their research results at keynote presentations, colloquiums, workshops and conferences on four continents, in 13 countries, in four languages. Team members' research has been covered in the media in several countries.
