What is radicalisation and extremism?
Violent extremism refers to a willingness to use violence to achieve political or religious goals. Radicalisation is the process by which a person increasingly accepts the use of violence to achieve political or religious goals.
The government defines radicalisation as a process that can lead to someone becoming an extremist. Please find more info about extremism at Sikresiden (external link).
How long the radicalisation process takes will vary from person to person, and not everyone who is in a radicalisation process becomes a violent extremist.
Violent extremism has no place at UiB
UiB is an arena for dissent and critical debate. We have a culture of open disagreement and professional discussion. At our university there is great room for different opinions and perceptions. At the same time, preventing radicalisation and violent extremism is an important societal task, for which all sectors have a responsibility.
