Abdul Latif Jameel Company (ALJ) is supporting the groundbreaking educational initiative exploring historical Muslim contributions to science and technology which is set to embark upon a worldwide tour. ‘1001 Inventions’ highlights the Muslim heritage in our world and reveals over a thousand years of scientific contributions made by early Muslim scholars that helped form the foundations of modern civilization.
The initiative was developed by the UK based academic organization the Foundation for Science Technology and Civilization (FSTC).It features the touring interactive exhibition, a fascinating book and vivid teaching materials.
The exhibition is currently touring the UK and will soon embark upon a high-profile world tour visiting over 20 major locations, starting in 2009 with North America and the Middle East.
Complementing the exhibition is the much sought-after 1001 Inventions book, first published in March 2006, which has received overwhelming response from around the globe with the first edition sold out within three months of its publication.
