Overview & Synopsis

Science and Scientific Narratives is a three-volume work on science, scientific narratives, and scientific practices at the University of Bergen over 75 years. The series explores how the sciences have been practiced and what they have meant. The first volume examines how the university was established, what it was intended to be, and the goals it was meant to achieve. The authors shed light on the institutional, social, and material frameworks and discuss the significance these frameworks have had for the university’s scientific practices. The second volume begins by presenting the women and men of science and continues with studies of technological change and the development of a range of disciplines and research fields at the University of Bergen. The third volume focuses on knowledge in society. The authors explore various aspects of the university as an educational institution, the dissemination of knowledge, and interaction and collaboration with the state and industry.
