The Research Centre for Health Promotion
The Research Centre for
Health Promotion is commonly known as the HEMIL Centre,
taken from the Centre’s Norwegian name, Senter for forskning
om helsefremmende arbeid, miljø og livsstil (Centre
for research on health-promoting action, environment, and lifestyle).
The name ‘HEMIL’ is
well recognised in Norway and internationally, a tribute to the success
of the experiment that began with the establishment of the centre
in 1988. It is a pleasure to acknowledge here the invaluable financial
support of the National Association of Public Health (Nasjonalforening
for folkehelsen) whose generous gift was the first step in our undertaking.
The Research Centre for Health Promotion is an interdisciplinary
milieu including
psychologists, sociologists, physicians, nurses, and educators and
child welfare specialists, and the activities of the Centre involve
people from several faculties of the university. Administratively,
the Research Centre for Health Promotion is a Research Group in the
Faculty of Psychology. Its charge is to initiate, coordinate and
conduct research, teaching and other activities in the arenas of
prevention and health promotion, with special emphasis on health
promotion interventions, health education and health-related lifestyle.
The Centre’s staff is gathered in university offices on the
top floor of Christiesgt. 13, located at the heart of the campus.
The Research Centre for Health Promotion is designated by the World
Health
Organisation as a Collaborating Centre for Health Promotion and Education.
The Research Centre for Health Promotion also plays an active role
in health promotion’s primary professional organisation, The
International Union for Health Promotion and Education. The Centre’s
reach is global, with intensive research, teaching and professional
collaborations in Africa, Australia, Asia and the Americas.
