Conference Highlights: This conference provided a critical analysis of the past contributions Muslims have made in science and technology. It also included an informed discussion to examine the extent which Islamic Science has influenced the past developments of Western society as well as the scientific achievements of the modern era.

It was a real eye opener. I was left with the feeling that here is
something new and definitely worth studying further.

A fascinating insight into how Islam held the torch for global civilisation for many centuries.
Susan - Salford

As a European Muslim, I was overwhelmed with hearing of the huge unpublicised role of an advanced Islamic civilisation in Europe over 1000 years. Why is this history missing and where can I learn more?
