• What is knowledge really?
• What implications does it have that knowledge is constructed, that the spreading of knowledge is regulated and that we have easier access to some knowledge than others?
• How can we as students take an active part in creating knowledge?

Due to the current COVID situation, recommendation guidelines from the Norwegian government influence how they conduct themselves. Therefore, based on recent recommendations, ISFiT21 has, unfortunately, decided to not invite participants from outside Europe. However, ISFiT21 also has a cultural program from which a lot of events and happenings will be live-streamed to students who may not participate in person.
