Arab Science – Historical Perspective

History of Science is found in four Eras1. Greeks contribution to science: 450BC-200BC ….. 250 years2. Chinese contribution to science: AD 600-700 ….. 100 years3. Arab golden era of science: AD 750- 1100 ….. 350 years4. Europe & the West contribution to science: AD 1350 onwards

Arab led the way in mathematics, astronomy, physics, chemistry and medicine.The foundations of modern science was led by:

Jaber-bin-Hayan, chemistryAl-Khawarzmi, mathematicsAl-Razi, Chemistry and MedicineIbn-Sina, MedicineIbn-Alhaisam, OpticsAl-Bairuni, physics and MedicineIbn-Rushd, Musa Bin Memoun, Tusi and Ibn-Nafis, scientific literatures

Arab scholars introduced the most significant single innovation to the world, their system of writing numbers

4- Photoenergy science & Technology Center of Excellence Ain Shams University, Cairo 1999

The Photoenergy Center serves as a national as well as international Center of excellence to promote, develop and stimulate high-level research for the development of science - based technologies. In particular, the objective of the PHOTOENERGY Center is to support training, research and development programs aimed towards an understanding of the aspects of the realistic applied photochemical research activities and utilization in main areas of importance to sustainable development that includes environmental sciences, photo catalysis, photo degradable polymers and new materials.

Funding of the project of the PHOTOENERGY Center has received financial support from the Egyptian Government amounting to LE 2 millions plus one million donations.

Total requirements of the activities of the Center in its first phase (estimated at $3 millions US for three years). The German Government offered technical/financial assistance to the Center for 1996/1997. Ain Shams University managed to offer (through the Ministry of Planning from foreign donations) about LE 1.5 millions and also offered the land for the building (about 400 square meter) that was ready for use.

To support the establishment of a Network of International Science and Technology Centers for Sustainable Development in the South is one of the main objectives of COMSATS. So far, 14 Centers of Excellence (highly reputed / world-renowned centers of science and technologies in South) have been selected as nodes and are being used to provide the leading role in their respective areas of specialization. The introduction of a system of international centers in the South would enable the third world to acquire latest scientific knowledge. These centers also cooperate with their counterparts in the North with the major focus on international cooperation, in the larger interest of mankind.(http://www.comsats.org.pk/coe-list.htm)

5- Syracuse Center of Excellence in Environmental and Energy Systems

The Syracuse CoE was established by Gov. Pataki in June 2002 to create jobs and foster investment in the State as part of the Empire State High-Tech Corridor, and to spur economic growth in the Central New York region. The CoE, a federation led by Syracuse University, includes collaborative research, development, education and economic development programs that involve 12 academic and research institutions and more than 60 corporate firms and organizations.

The State has committed approximately $44 million to the Syracuse CoE for investments in facilities and equipment. From that total, $25.5 million will be spent at the headquarters campus project. This includes $2.6 million from the New York Office of Science, Technology and Academic Research (NYSTAR) for the construction of a Total Indoor Environmental Quality (TIEQ) laboratory on the site. The remaining $18.4 million is being spent on campus for new labs and equipment for academic partners.

The mission of the Syracuse CoE is to create innovations to improve built and urban environments. Areas of activity include air quality, water quality, “green” buildings, renewable energy and biofuels. Projects focus on new technologies that improve health, performance, security and sustainability.

Within the Syracuse CoE, corporate and commercialization programs are led by the New York Indoor Environmental Quality (NYIEQ) Center, an independent, nonprofit corporation that was established in 2000 by the Metropolitan Development Association of Syracuse and Central New York. Academic research activities are coordinated primarily through the Environmental Quality Systems

The "National Hydrogen Storage Project"

In July 2003, the DOE issued a “Grand Challenge” to the global scientific community for research and development in hydrogen storage with open competition to universities, industry and national laboratories. This "Grand Challenge" called for the establishment of hydrogen storage Centers of Excellence on Metal Hydrides, Chemical Hydrogen Storage, and Carbon-Based Materials, with multiple university, industry, and federal laboratory partners. In addition, independent projects were solicited on new materials and concepts, off-board hydrogen storage systems, and analyses of life cycle cost, performance and environmental impact.
