Ibnu Sina Institute 1997 – present: Chronicle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ibnu Sina Institute for Scientific and Industrial Research (ISI-SIR) was founded in 1997, and we have made history<\/font><\/u><\/a>. At ISI-SIR, expanding the boundaries of knowledge through a genuinely multidisciplinary endeavour across the mathematical, physical, and social sciences to technologies and the humanities<\/a><\/font><\/u> is a noble task to contribute to society on a national and global scale, thus creating the future. The staff<\/font><\/u><\/a> and students<\/font><\/u><\/a> of ISI-SIR look forward to seeing how things work and inspired to make them work better. Our philosophy<\/font><\/u><\/a> and strategic planning<\/a><\/font><\/u> are to encourage real-world engagement and appreciation for the ISI-SIR entrepreneurship<\/a><\/font><\/u> ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginnings<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A working paper was submitted to the Executive Committee, UTM by the Office of Corporate Affairs to establish an interdisciplinary research institute in fundamental sciences. 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 & Molecular Biology, Materials Science, Computational Mathematics & 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.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
