About the talk:

When a new pandemic virus emerges in a naive population, the only control options are nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) until vaccines or effective treatments become available. Here, we report on the Danish suppression strategy and use of a combination of NPIs with a notable absence of extremely strict measures (such as stay-at-home orders). Only 7% of Danes were infected (serological evidence) in the first year of the pandemic, compared with 50% in Lombardy in the first wave alone. This low attack rate was accomplished by initial rapid intervention with a free-of-charge mass testing program beginning in October 2020, a strong digital data infrastructure, timely contact tracing and voluntary home isolation, real-time reporting of surveillance data, and a high degree of public trust. The individual contribution of each NPI to the pandemic control is difficult to assess; yet, evidence points to the mass testing program as being particularly effective in removing infected individuals from the pool. In January 2021, vaccines became available, and 96% of Danes over 50 years of age were vaccinated twice with an mRNA vaccine by summer. On February 1, 2022, while facing the Omicron variant and with the older adult newly boosted, Denmark became the first country to drop all NPIs. A few months later, 70% of the population had been infected with the Omicron variant, showing the SARS-CoV-2 transmission potential when unmitigated. Denmark was only close to intensive care unit capacity during the second wave in winter 2020-2021, when 5% of the population was infected. In conclusion, the effectiveness of the combined NPIs is evident due to the low ( < 10%) attack rate in the first two waves before vaccines became available, far from the experience of unmitigated COVID-19 in Lombardy in spring 2020, with a 50% attack rate and catastrophic levels of severe morbidity and mortality.

About the speaker:

Lone Simonsen is a Professor of Population Health Sciences, at the Department of Science and Environment at Roskilde University. Her research is highly interdisciplinary and involves colleagues and methodologies from fields ranging from history to mathematics. Over the past 25 years she has worked internationally as an epidemiologist and researcher. She is the center leader of PandemiX Center of Excellence (Center for Interdisciplinary Study of Pandemic Signatures), supported by the Danish National Research Foundation (DNRF).

New CAS project: “Scarred people”

Centre leader Mamelund has been awarded a NordIAS Visiting Fellowship from the Centre for Advanced Study in Oslo (CAS) to visit Tampere Institute for Advanced Study for three weeks in April. This visit will enhance rare academic collaboration and dialogue across Norway and Finland in the fields of mathematical pandemiology (Mamelund, Chowell, Gaddy, Raitoharju) and economic and social history of war (Peltola, Saaritsa, Gaddy, Taskinen).

The aim of the “Scarred people” project is to model excess all-cause spatial mortality in Tampere due to scarring events like the like typhoid epidemics in 1916, the Finnish civil war in 1918, Spanish flu in 1918-20, and unemployment during the Great Depression of the 1920s, using Serfling models and GIS.

The context of a civil war and pandemic in 1918 is especially interesting as it makes us able to tease out interactions of disease, crowding in prison camps, executions, and undernourishment. At the peak, there were almost 10 000 POWs at the camp in Tampere, compared to a normal city population of 45 000. Past scholars of the Spanish flu have hypothesized about the impacts of malnutrition on mortality during the pandemic, but malnutrition in 1918 generally happened in contexts in which high-quality data is not available. Using our collective expertise in disease modelling and the context of the Finnish civil war to study the experience of the pandemic in the POW camp will lead to a better understanding of the pandemic globally.

Our Finish partners have 1) individual cause-specific mortality data (650-800 deaths/year) with the possibility to link deaths to population and red guard membership data, as well as occupation, address, age, gender, and time at the prison camp; 2) weekly statistics of morbidity with causes in the city (in Finland, the city doctors had to report every case to the city health board); and 3) individual hospitalization records for the 1918-21 period from both the city hospitals (City archive) and the hospital in the prison camp (National archive). These latter data have not been collected yet, but we will discuss how to photograph and transcribe this data during the visit.

Expected contributions to Tampere IAS include 1) a workshop to set up data and discuss emerging findings; 2) Guest lectures by Mamelund at Tampere IAS and the Universities of Tampere and Helsinki; 3) Half day academic presentations for larger audience at Tampere; 4) Active participations in academic and social activities at the Tampere IAS, and Tampere and Helsinki universities; 5) Mentoring of students, including a Master student (Antti Puska) who is studying the Spanish flu in Tampere, 1918-1921; 6) An evaluation of the visit and the outcome of the visit to CAS Oslo; 7) Draft of at least one scientific journal article; 8) Collaborations on proposals for new research funding.

Collaborators at Tampere IAS and Tampere University:
1. Ilari Taskinen (Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Tampere University & previously at Tampere IAS 2023-25)
2. Emma Raitoharju (University Lecturer, Faculty of Medicine & Health Technology, Tampere University)

Blurb:

Over the summer of 2022, an outbreak of clade IIb mpox swept the globe, but then seemed to fade as quickly as it had arrived. The disease was heavily concentrated among men who have sex with men and had a high comorbidity with HIV, indicating risky sexual behavior. What happened? Did the risk-group get immunized? Did the fear of infection lead risk groups into abstinence? Did the smallpox vaccine save us?

About the talk

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly disrupted healthcare delivery globally, forcing hospital administrators to make difficult ad hoc decisions about postponing or cancelling elective care to ensure adequate capacity for COVID-19 patients. This resulted in missed care and increased waiting times for health services across many countries. While various data-driven models were developed during the pandemic to assist decision makers, most focussed on transmission dynamics and the potential effects from infection prevention and control measures. Although these models provided valuable insight into slowing the spread of disease – buying hospitals more time to prepare – they were not tailored to the unique contexts of individual hospitals. Leveraging facility-level data presents unique opportunities to provide hospital-specific predictions that administrators need for operational planning. This locally gathered hospital data can be used to build analytical models accounting for the diversity within their catchment areas. However, smaller sample sizes at the local level may introduce methodological challenges. Using COVID-19 data from a Norwegian hospital as case study, this research explores how hospital-level data can be utilized to develop tools that provide timely and actionable information to decision makers at individual hospitals, ultimately enhancing their preparedness during future pandemics.

About the Speaker

Lieke Fleur Heupink is a PhD researcher at the Health Service Research Department at Akershus University Hospital and the University of Oslo. She applies epidemiological and health economics methods to analyse COVID-19 data with the aim to strengthen hospital preparedness and response.

Pandemics & Society Webinar 22th January, “Lessons from the Pandemic: From Data to Defence”.

For the first Pandemics & Society Seminar of our Spring 2026 series we are pleased to welcome Sanjay Gyawali (Akershus University Hospital). The seminar will be held on Thursday, 22th January at the normal time (1600 CEST). More information about our speaker and the presentation is below.

About the talk

The COVID-19 pandemic revealed significant gaps in global preparedness. As we navigate the recovery phase, the risk of future pandemics remains one of the most pressing challenges to global safety. During the pandemic, a wide range of control measures were implemented worldwide, often with limited evidence of their effectiveness. In the project “Lessons from pandemic”, we investigate the effectiveness and impact of these measures—the key strategies employed by governments in response to the pandemic—from multiple perspectives through a comprehensive analysis of various sources of COVID-19 data from different regions in Norway. Our objective is to identify optimal strategies that mitigate health risks and minimize unnecessary social and economic burdens. Ultimately, we aim to transform the insights gained from the COVID-19 experience into actionable strategies that strengthen preparedness for future health crises. In my talk, I will present preliminary findings from this ongoing project.

About the Speaker

Sanjay Gyawali is a PhD candidate at the Health Services Research Unit (HØKH), Akershus University Hospital. Gyawali  has a background in epidemiology and has a Master of Philosophy (MPhil)  in Global Health from the University of Bergen.

Ny kronikk: For meg er forskning en livsstil

Debatten om “langsom” professor har “rast” i Krono de fem siste ukene av 2025. Her er ingressen til senterleder Mamelunds kronikk som bidrag disse diskusjonene: “For meg er forskning livsstil, det vil si at jeg ofte benytter fritiden til å forske og at jeg ikke ønsker sjefer som forteller meg at jeg skal logge av og jobbe mindre i julen”.

Annual Report (2025)

This is the fifth annual report for the Centre for Research on Pandemics & Society (PANSOC). As in previous years, we report here on our research mission and perspectives, projects and funding applications, the team and institutional collaborations, and outcomes/activities during 2025.

1. Short presentation of the Centre – research perspectives and main goals

PANSOC is an OsloMet Centre of Research Excellence (CRE) that conducts internationally innovative research on the societal, economic, and historical dimensions of pandemics. The Centre’s core mission remains to understand social and biological risk factors and inequalities—drawing lessons from both contemporary and historical pandemics—to improve pandemic preparedness and inform public policy. Its unique multidisciplinary focus bridges social science, public health, and history and seeks to deepen global understanding of pandemic impacts and responses. 

2. Research projects and funding applications

In 2025, PANSOC continued to advance its core research agenda:

  • Ongoing research from CRE (internal funding), MERIT, PANRISK, CorRisk and CAS projects (external funding) continued to yield new insights into socioeconomic determinants of pandemic outcomes and compliance with interventions. These externally funded projects form a backbone of PANSOC’s research inquiry and show that research continues even after project periods and funding have ended.
  • The team has continued to engage with funding bodies and high-profile research calls to sustain long-term, ambitious pandemic research programs internationally. This includes Mamelund being invited to Advanced Grant in 2024 (grade A and recommended funding).
  • Throughout the year, seminar series and collaborative research engagements extended PANSOC’s project network and created fertile ground for future funding proposals across Europe and beyond.
  • This includes a new stay at CAS for a Short Term Residential Fellowship in November and December 2025 to work on a New CAS-project: Indigenous Peoples & Pandemics: Data Completeness & Vaccine Access Disparities – Centre for Research on Pandemics & Society (PANSOC). This project was based on our 2022-23 stay at CAS doing research on Social Science Meets Biology | CAS.
  • Benjamin Schneider, prior post-doc at PANSOC got a Young FRIPRO Grant from the Research Council of Norway in 2025. The project, which Dr. Schneider developed when at PANSOC, will be based at the University of Oslo, but with a partner at the Work Research Institute at OsloMet, will study “Technological Change, Labor Representation, and Job Quality: A Comparative Historical Analysis, c. 1830—1980.”

3. Research team and institutional collaborations

PANSOC’s research team in 2025 consisted of senior researchers, postdoctoral fellows, and MA students (New incoming MA-student – Centre for Research on Pandemics & Society (PANSOC)) with diverse expertise spanning pandemic historiography, epidemiology, and social science. The Centre’s collaborative network includes academic partners from numerous universities and research centres across Europe, North America and Australia.

In 2025, a notable highlight for the Centre was the recognition received by Centre leader Svenn-Erik Mamelund, who was ranked among the top 0.05 % of lifetime scholars globally in the pandemic research field (highlighting the Centre’s research influence). He also continued to be listed among the Stanford/Elsevier top-2 % scientists in public health. 

Centre leader Mamelund was nominated name of the year in Academia in 2025 by the readers of the Newspaper Khrono. This is the third time Mamelund has been nominated for this prize. First times were in 2021 and 2020. In the latter instance he was one of three finalists.

Former PANSOC post-doc won 2nd prize in poster award at Heidelberg University Symposium – Centre for Research on Pandemics & Society (PANSOC)

4. Research outcomes and activities

Seminars and Knowledge Exchange

A key part of PANSOC’s activities in 2025 was its Pandemics & Society Seminar Series:

  • In Spring 2025, PANSOC hosted a wide range of seminars on topics including historical and contemporary pandemics, infectious disease dynamics, and methodological approaches to pandemic studies (6 webinars in total).
  • The Fall 2025 seminar series continued to showcase global scholarship on pandemic history, demography, and public health, including presentations on Black Death impacts, influenza history, and tuberculosis in colonial Africa (9 webinars in total).
  • The final seminar of 2025, held on 11 December, explored the concept of “kinship memory” after COVID-19, using demographic microsimulation to understand how the pandemic may be remembered by future generations.  

These seminar activities not only enriched PANSOC’s academic environment but also strengthened global networks and offered public access to cutting-edge research discussions.

Publications and Dissemination

PANSOC members continued peer-reviewed research outputs (18 articles, see below) and scholarly dissemination across journals and platforms. They also contributed to public discourse on pandemic preparedness and the historical context of infectious disease outbreaks.

Outreach and Visibility

5. Summary

In 2025, PANSOC upheld its mission to advance understanding of pandemics through multidisciplinary inquiry and global engagement. The Centre’s persistent seminar programming, research activities, and international collaborations reinforced its position in the academic and policy landscapes. Recognition of the Centre leader’s scholarly impact affirmed PANSOC’s contribution to pandemic studies internationally. Through continued research, outreach, and knowledge dissemination, PANSOC remains committed to generating socially relevant insights that advance pandemic preparedness and reduce societal vulnerabilities.
