Since 2009 DFG and ANR have financed our comparative research project „From Advertisement to marketing. Pharmaceutical enterprises, patients, physicians and the construction of medical markets (GEPHAMA)”, during which we have analysed the marketing of modern drugs as an heuristic approach for understanding the modern medical market. Industrial mass production, the use of communications media in marketing, the specialization of and the differentiation within the medical market, the increasing internatio-nalization of the market and last not least the blessings and promises of the post World War II "therapeutic revolution":
Our final conference wants to put our own research into context. Its contributions will discuss investigations of pharmaceutical promotion as a series of local and industry-based practices which contribute to the construction of markets by linking research, the market(s) and medicine during the last century.

Supported by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR), European Science Foundation, Cermes 3, Paris, Institut für Geschichte der Medizin, Berlin.
