Indeed, in accordance with the assignment of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Sh. Mirziyoyev, on January 29, 2025, the Academy of Sciences was tasked with providing scientific, methodological, and organizational assistance to the Center of Islamic Civilization.
Within the framework of executing this assignment, the Academy of Sciences and its structural subdivisions established close scientific cooperation with the Center.
As a result of the active participation of academicians, scientists, and scientific institutions under the leadership of the President of the Academy of Sciences, Shavkat Ayupov, and Vice-President Bahrom Abdukhalimov, the museum expositions and content of the Center were prepared at a high scientific level.
Within the framework of cooperation, more than 800 research projects have been developed and are being implemented with the aim of enriching the content of the center's activities and strengthening its scientific foundations.
Moreover, within the activities of the Center's Expanded Scientific Council, a plan and directions for scientific research were formed in cooperation with scientists from the Academy of Sciences and various scientific institutions, and innovative and scientific programs were coordinated and implemented.
These projects were aimed at studying the scientific, spiritual, cultural, and historical heritage of Islamic civilization, highlighting its role in the development of world science and culture, as well as restoring our national values based on modern scientific analyses.
There is no doubt that this effective cooperation between the Academy of Sciences and the Center of Islamic Civilization will continue to develop steadily in the future, yielding new scientific results and practical achievements.
