 SESRIC undertakes the role of the Project Co-Manager, together with the British Royal Society, for the project of Atlas of Islamic World Science and Innovation, which aims to map and evaluate the changing landscape of Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) across fifteen OIC countries. The project will determine the rising hotspots for innovation as well as looking to how STI can contribute to sustainable development and poverty reduction in some of the less-developed countries of the Islamic World through the analysis of the latest data, trends and case studies.
The project was launched as one of the actions to implement the specific recommendations of the OIC Vision 1441 H for S&T adopted by the 10th OIC Summit Conference held in Putrajaya, Malaysia in October 2003 and the OIC Ten-Year Programme of Action adopted by the 3rd OIC Extraordinary Summit Conference held in Makkah-al-Mukarramah in December 2005. The project was endorsed by the 11th OIC Summit Conference held in Dakar, Republic of Senegal on 13 – 14 March 2008, and was officially started with the Kick-off Meeting in Istanbul on 13-15 July 2008, wherein the National Focal Points of the 15 beneficiary countries and members of the Joint Management Team participated. The Fourth Session of the Islamic Conference of Ministers of Higher Education and Scientific Research has also commended the launching of the Project.
