1001 Inventions today unveiled an ambitious plan for a global expansion of its touring exhibition. Through the strategic support of Abdul Latif Jameel Company (ALJ), the ground breaking educational initiative exploring historical Muslim contributions to science and technology is set to embark upon a worldwide roll-out.

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 civilisation.

The initiative, which today celebrates its second anniversary, was developed by the U.K-based Foundation for Science Technology and Civilisation (FSTC). It features the touring interactive exhibition, a fascinating book and vivid teaching materials.
