The Role of Science in the Islamic World

This talk examines the role of science in the Islamic world, tracing how modern science has roots in Islamic civilization. It explores whether we have lost key aspects of the scientific process that was established during this era. Beginning in the 8th century, Islamic scholars contributed through a unique triangle of innovation, using deep imagination to solve pressing social challenges. Today, there is growing evidence that we are losing this imaginative power and becoming disconnected from our social compass. Profitable advancements in medical, energy, and communication technologies may not be fully serving humanity.
Speaker
Hayat Sindi, Founder and CEO of the Institute for Quality (iQ), Goodwill Ambassador for STEM at UNESCO, and an Honorary Fellow at Newnham College, Cambridge University
