“…A recent study explores the role of hygiene and psychiatry in the professionalizing of medicine in Norway in the 1800s and early 1900s (Elvbakken & Ludvigsen, 2016). Hygiene and psychiatry were disciplines addressing issues of social order.…”

“…The import and export of animals and meat, as well as the sufficiency and safety of the food supply, were urgent problems. Norwegian scholars and board of health members participated, and some went abroad to study public health initiatives (Elvbakken & Ludvigsen, 2016). Through contact with the European scientific community, Norwegian hygienists and city veterinarians gained inspiration for their activities at home.…”

Knowledge sharing is an essential part of interprofessional practice and will be even more important in the future in regard to the opportunities and challenges in practices for delivering safe and effective healthcare. The aim of this ethnographic study was to explore how professional knowledge can be shared in an interprofessional team at a spinal cord injury rehabilitation unit. A sociomaterial perspective on practice was used to analyse the data, and by theorizing upon this, we captured different aspects of interprofessional collaboration in health care. The findings illuminate how knowledge emerges and is shared between professionals, and how it passes along as chain of actions between professionals, in various ways. The findings offer a novel perspective on how interprofessional collaboration as a practice, involving ongoing learning, unfolds. This reveals the mechanisms by which different forms of expertise are mobilized between professions as health care work.

“…Population statistics and surveys of causes of deaths were among the topics within the discipline of hygiene internationally, and these topics were generally of importance for state authorities (Desrosières, ). Other issues addressed in the department up until the 1940s included legislative work and research (Elvbakken and Ludvigsen, ).…”

“…The medical discipline of hygiene was institutionalized in Norway prior to that of physiology (Elvbakken, ). The professorship of hygiene (also named state medicine or politica medica ) was the fourth professorship to be established at the Faculty of Medicine, in 1824, which was early in a Scandinavian context (Elvbakken and Ludvigsen, ). The professors of hygiene came to the university from positions within the Board of Health in the capital, Oslo, and they cooperated with the health authorities; by taking part in the making of new legislation or conducting other efforts to secure public health.…”

“…Research was valued in its own right – the university aimed to not only educate lawyers, priests and physicians. The number of professors, however, was small and many were committed to serve the authorities with advice and consultancy, for example in the field of medicine (Elvbakken and Ludvigsen, ). This cooperation between university and state was important at least until the 1940s, and clearly so when Schmidt‐Nielsen was appointed to the university in 1907.…”

The aim of this article is to shed light on the relationships between science, state and industry in the field of food and nutrition in Norway in the first half of the 20th century with reference to the scientist Sigval Schmidt‐Nielsen (1877–1956). Schmidt‐Nielsen was a health authority employed state chemist at the university in the Norwegian capital and later professor of technical organic chemistry at the Norwegian Institute of Technology in Trondheim. We explore his roles, his research and his consultancy for state and industry at the university and at the institute. The early 1900s were important for the shaping of food and nutrition science as well as the growth of the food industry. During this period, food control and food regulations were implemented. Norway, the context in which Schmidt‐Nielsen worked had only become an independent nation in 1905, and the state administration, as well as the university and institute were young institutions. We argue that this specific situation paved the way for the roles Schmidt‐Nielsen played in academia, state and industry. By combining a biographical approach and a multi‐institutional perspective, new relations between different fields within food and nutrition became visible.
