Scientific Council: Discussion of the Center's Projects

At the meeting of the Scientific Council, presentations of working plans for four sections of the exhibition at the Center of Islamic Civilization were discussed: “Quran Hall”, “Pre-Islamic Civilizations”, “First Renaissance”, “Second Renaissance”, and “Uzbek Khanates.”

The meeting was opened by the Head of the Center, Firdavs Abdukhalikov, who began with a welcoming speech:

— “The projects aimed at enriching the Center are being implemented in three stages. We face a significant and responsible task. Each department head is required to ensure the accuracy and historical basis of the materials presented. The information will be translated into 7 languages. Negotiations are underway for cooperation with experienced companies for translation services. We also plan to contribute to enriching historical data on Wikipedia,” noted the Head of the Center.

"I am confident that after the opening of the Center, our work will be appreciated by visitors. We have introduced many innovations into the project, consulting with local scholars and historians. It is rightly noted that this department will become a kind of hallmark of the Center. For representation, models of historically significant cities of Uzbekistan, as well as inventions by Uzbek scholars, will be displayed. Shows with drones and audio recordings will be held. The projects will reflect modernity, and each event will be implemented based on global standards," said Alexander Us.

Additionally, at the meeting, the heads and responsible individuals for the “Pre-Islamic Civilizations”, “First Renaissance”, and “Second Renaissance” sections presented reports on the work being carried out within their projects. It was announced that a team of guides would be recruited for the Center, who will undergo training through courses conducted by specialists. At the end of the meeting, the presentations were discussed once again and approved by the members of the Scientific Council.

For reference: As part of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev's initiative to create the Center of Islamic Civilization, over the past month, more than 200 local scholars have been involved in enriching the exhibition with meaningful content, historical artifacts, and replicas. In total, over 800 projects require work, and more than 2,000 local and international scholars are expected to be involved in their implementation. The initial stage has already begun, with over 400 projects actively being worked on in consultation with the members of the Scientific Council.
