The Norwegian Network for Research and Education in Health Promotion
Mission
The Mission of the Norwegian Network for Research and Education in Health Promotion (NNREHP) is to strengthen research and education on health promotion at Norwegian higher education and research institutions, and in the society in general.
Public health and health promotion in Norway are highly complementary fields; the NNREHP intends to strengthen both.
The Network was founded in 2010 and it took on its current name, NNREHP, in November 2014. The NNREHP consists of institutions working with health promotion research and/or higher education, and collaborates closely with relevant national public stakeholders, organizations and other networks.
The NNREHP assembles twice a year for two-day meetings, hosted by different participating institutions.
Aims
The NNREHP aims to contribute to collaboration among its members with particular emphasis on:
- Facilitating development of Norwegian research on health promotion
- Discussing learning goals, structure, curriculum and quality criteria for study programs in health promotion and public health in higher education, and suggest common standards.
- Providing a national community of Norwegian researchers to promote communication with Nordic, European and global health promotion networks
- Commenting constructively on governmental and public strategy documents with relevance to health promotion and public health

European Forum for Health Promotion Research (HP Forum)
The European Forum for Health Promotion Research (HP Forum) brings together health promotion researchers across Europe to further develop and strengthen health promotion research.
The network will foster synergy between different actors by developing common theoretical and methodological grounds and facilitate collaboration between researchers in the field of health promotion.
Aims
The HP Forum also aims to inform politicians and policy makers in the European Region of advancements in health promotion practices, programs and research. It is open to researchers from all European institutions engaged in health promotion.
The HP Forum is initiated by the International Union for Health Promotion and Education (IUHPE), the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) and Steno Diabetes Center Copenhagen (SDCC). It is supported by The European Public Health Association (EUPHA), EuroHealthNet, WHO/Europe and the UNESCO Chair for Global Health and Education.
