DICTUM has resulted in five scientific articles, a lecture series, an international conference, two workshops, several lectures presented by DICTUM’s primary investigator, Dr. Kristian Larsen, at various universities, as well as a number of outreach activities.
DICTUM’s first article was submitted in July 2017 and published by *Agora* in December 2017. The second article was submitted in November 2017 and will be published in *Ancient Philosophy* in 2020. The third article was submitted in April 2018 and was published in *Études Platoniciennes* in May 2019. The fourth article was submitted in December 2018 and is currently under review for *Polis*. The fifth article is currently being prepared for submission to *Phronesis*.
The lecture series, which has included 8 lectures, comprised lectures by DICTUM’s primary investigator, Dr. Kristian Larsen, and lectures by Prof. H. Ausland (University of Montana), Dr. J. L. Fink (University of Gothenburg), Dr. Chr. Roser (Humbold University of Berlin), Prof. C. Rowett (University of East Anglia), and Prof. V. Politis (Trinity College Dublin). The lecture series concentrated on Platonic dialectic and its historical context and was held at the University of Bergen.
DICTUM’s conference took place in May/June 2018 (3 days) at the University of Bergen and included 12 presenters from various universities across the world. The group of presenters included both well-established and up-an-coming scholars and was well balanced with regard to gender. The conference addressed the question whether or not a more unified conception of Platonic dialectic could be argued for. Two workshops held at the University of Bergen had served as preparation for the conference.
In addition to several presentations at the University of Bergen, Dr. Larsen has presented various aspects of his research during DICTUM at Södertörn University (Sweden), Trinity College Dublin (Ireland), Loyola University Chicago (USA), and University of Fribourg (Switzerland), and he has presented his project and research in more popular form through various outreach activities such as a radio interview, a presentation at the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions celebration event “20 Years-100 000 Fellows” in Brussels, presentations at Trinity College Dublin, and a MSCA master class at the University of Bergen.
