Ten potential research areas have been listed in working paper ranging from Astronomical Science, Theoretical and Condensed Matter Physics, Catalyst Study, Nuclear Physics, Acoustic and Optical Physics, Solid State Physics, Genetic &amp; Molecular Biology, Materials Science, Computational Mathematics &amp; Statistics. However, there was one research area added to it handwritten (most possibility during the meeting) which was History and Philosophy of Science. In the end of the working paper, it was suggested that naming the institute as \u201cIbnu Sina Institute for Fundamental Science Studies (IIS)\u201d in honor of Abu Ali Al Huysayn Ibn Abd Allah Ibnu Sina (Avicenna) (980-1037), one of the foremost philosophers and scientists in the Medieval Hellenistic Islamic tradition. Ibnu Sina\u2019s achievements as a scientist and philosopher are without parallel. He wrote two most famous works, the Kitab ash-shifa (\u201cBook of Healing\u201d) and the al-Qanun fi at-tibb (\u201cCanon of Medicine\u201d). It is also proposed that the Institute will be put under management of Faculty of Science. Faculty also plays a role to coordinate human resource development and scientific instruments at university level so that the institute can be act as interfaculty and interdisciplinary center. Subsequently, a proposal for organization structure and activities at Ibnu Sina Institute for Fundamental Science Studies (IIS) was drafted. It first revealed that meeting of Executive Committee of the university which took place on 24 April 1997 was agreed to approve the establishment of Ibnu Sina Institute for Fundamental Science Studies. Furthermore, the institute was responsible to coordinate and facilitate all fundamental science researches at UTM. It also suggested that the organizational structure consists of Director, Deputy Director and four laboratories coordinators.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_row et_pb_row_5 et_animated et_pb_equal_columns  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_block_row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_column_1_2 et_pb_column et_pb_column_7  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_block_column\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_divider et_pb_divider_1 et_pb_space\"><div class=\"et_pb_divider_internal\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_text et_pb_text_10  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p style=\"text-align: right;\">7 MAY 1997<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_text et_pb_text_11  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p style=\"text-align: right;\">First Meeting<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_text et_pb_text_12  et_pb_text_align_right et_pb_text_align_left-tablet et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">F<span>irst letter issued calling for the first meeting of the committee to establish Ibnu Sina Institute for Fundamental Science Studies (IIS) chaired by the Deputy Dean of Faculty of Science, Prof. Dr. Mohamad Rashidi Md.
