Times are changing. Tensions are growing, technology is developing, and society as a whole is experiencing rapid change and instability. Advances in artificial intelligence, combined with growing polarization can make dialogue challenging.

Yet, ISFiT27 hopes you will join us and dare to hope that it is not too late. We choose to look at the future with optimism, and the changing winds as an opportunity for progress. Previously established power structures are being increasingly challenged, and global norms are being dismantled.
‍
We wish for ISFiT27 to be aspace where these changes can be explored, and hope that by connecting today’s changes to historical trends and emerging perspectives we will be ableto gain a better understanding of our future and how to shape it. We therefore invite you to join us in discussing these changes from your unique perspective.
