Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to invite proposals for the Tenth Norwegian History of Science Conference (NHSC10), which is being organized by NVF - The Norwegian Association for the History of Science<https://foreninger.uio.no/nvf/english/>, and hosted in Bergen, Norway, 5-7 November 2025.
The theme of the conference is "Science and Communication"
About the Conference
The Norwegian History of Science Conference brings together scholars working on the history of science, medicine and technology on any theme, topic, or period to discuss historical, epistemological, political, institutional, and ethical issues of relevance to both Scandinavian and international audiences, welcoming researchers of all nationalities at all stages of their careers. The tenth conference in the series coincides with the 200th anniversary of Bergen Museum, the origins of the University of Bergen, and the local organizers extend a special invitation to those involved in history of science, medicine and technology taking place at museums and collections.
The first Norwegian Conference on the History of Science was organized in Oslo in 2008 with the aim of establishing a national network for historians of science, medicine and technology. Since then, the conference has been hosted biannually in Tromsø, Trondheim, Oslo, and Bergen, and the conference has established itself as a forum for both national and international exchange of ideas and collaboration. At the ninth conference held in Trondheim in 2023, NVF - The Norwegian Association for the History of Science was established to serve as host of the conference.
Theme
The overarching theme of this year's conference is "Science and Communication", understood in a broad sense. Twenty years ago, James Secord argued for studying science as communication, stressing the ways that ideas and practices were moved from one place to another. Following his call, historians of science have offered detailed studies of communication devices such as newspapers, public talks and demonstrations, movies, radio, and the internet have shaped what and how we know things. Others have studied ways to communicate, display, or store scientific knowledge and objects, for example in museums and collections. In the museum sector there has been an increased tendency to address ethical issues associated with the origins of their collections. Several studies have also offered new insights into who has been deemed the ideal science communicator, as well as how ideas about science audiences have changed. Last, but not least, a growing number of studies have offered invaluable insights into what knowledge has been deemed not suitable for communication, or what happens when knowledge is produced against the wishes of the scientist.
While the main theme of the conference is "Science and Communication", papers and panels on other topics related to the history of science, medicine and technology are equally welcome, as the conference aims to reflect ongoing activities in the field and continue to provide an important meeting point.
Keynote lectures will be given by Anne Eriksen from the University of Oslo and Staffan Bergwik from Stockholm University. Eriksen will talk about "Bergen Museum 1825. Knowledge for a Public Sphere", while Bergwik will talk about "Epochs, Trajectories, Rhythms: Visions of Historical Time and Scientific Knowledge in the 20th Century".

Call for papers: Perspectives on Workers’ Education, ELHN 2026
Call for papers for the working group Workers’ Education, European Labour History Network’s Conference, June 16-19, 2026, Barcelona
Deadline for abstracts: 1 August 2025
Early on, workers' education was organised by and for the working class and served multiple purposes. Workers’ education aimed to compensate for the limited formal education available to many workers. In such contexts, workers’ education was a bridge to higher education and a pathway to upward social mobility. Workers’ education also became a means for the cultural empowerment of the working class. Importantly, workers’ education also constituted the institutional foundation for the political education of the working class. These programs ensured members had the skills to manage organisations, represent labour parties in parliamentary institutions, and engage meaningfully with ideological debates. While the structure and goals of such educational initiatives have varied between countries, many formats have been used, including labour colleges, folk high schools, study circles, lectures, and correspondence courses.
Because workers’ education has diverse aims, the educational sphere within the labour movement has often been marked by conflict. Different branches of the movement have competed for control over workers’ education institutions, bourgeois forces have attempted to curtail or co-opt these efforts, and funding has frequently been a source of contention.
In these sessions, we aim to explore educational practices, teaching methods, and the cultural and political significance of workers' education. We welcome contributions from various disciplines, including case studies and comparative analyses. Papers may examine workers’ education in different national contexts.
We particularly welcome papers that address:
* Conflicts surrounding workers’ education, such as tensions between factions within the labour movement or between labour organisations and the state
* The funding and financial organisation of workers’ education
* Influential individuals who played a key role in advancing workers’ education
We especially encourage contributions that approach workers’ education from a gender perspective.
