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".

It’s crazy how fast entertainment apps are evolving — from streaming platforms to AI-powered content suggestions.
Everyone’s got their go-to app for movies, series, or music.
Personally, I’ve been exploring a few new ones lately, and it’s wild how some lesser-known apps actually perform better than the mainstream ones.
If you’re into discovering apps that bring all your favorite content together in one place, this one is worth checking out https://smartplayofficial.com/
I was surprised at how good 3 Patti Gold turned out to be. The app runs smoothly without any lag, and the interface is clean and easy to navigate. <a href="https://3pattigold.com.pk/"> try it</a>

Bästa!
Den modernhistoriska vetenskapspodden En svensk tiger diskuterar rättegångarna i Nürnberg 1945-1946, folkmord och brott mot mänskligheten.
Detta med anledning av att det gått 80 år sedan Nürnbergtribunalen — vilket bland annat uppmärksammas via den amerikanska storfilmen ”Nürnberg”, där filmstjärnan Russel Crowe spelar den ledande nationalsocialisten Hermann Göring.
Nürnbergprocessen innehöll bland annat åtalspunkten brott mot mänskligheten, särskilt angående Förintelsen av Europas judar. Vad innebar begreppet ”brott mot mänskligheten” i Nürnberg? Hur har det utvecklats — och hur skiljer det sig från folkmord, ett brott som skapades juridiskt först 1948 (det vill säga ett par år efter Nürnberg)?
Vad kan sägas om efterföljande rättsprocesser som Tokyotribunalen, rättegången mot Adolf Eichmann och andra rättegångar? Hur påverkas ageranden mot folkmord av att begreppet är så infekterat?
Vår gäst är professor Mark Klamberg, ämnesföreståndare för folkrätt vid Stockholms universitets juridiska institution och författare till boken ”Folkmord” (2025).
