IMASE strives to achieve this by gathering and focussing the knowledge, talents and experience of its members from around the world, to identify and address the scientific and technological challenges facing developing communities. We work to deal with these challenges by delivering distinctive contributions through research, action and publication. Our areas of focus include Technology for Development, Water Resources, Enterprise and Muslim Science Policy. See IMASE Initiatives for more on these.

IMASE aims to be a practical consulting and problem-solving organisation that draws upon its network of members from the scientific community's finest, in order to assist in the development of individuals, organisations and nations across the world.

Human beings are God's vicegerents on earth, and as such, have a great responsibility towards its well-being and future,

"Behold", your Lord said to the angels: "I will create a Vicegerent on earth."
They said, "Will You place therein one who will make mischief and shed blood, whilst we celebrate Your Praises and glorify Your Holy Name?"
He said, "I know that which you know not".
Qur'an, 2:30

Thus, God knew the capacity of man to do good as well as evil, and He decided to place this responsibility on the shoulders of each individual to prove himself or herself. We feel it important to reflect on our intentions and ask - are we as scientists and engineers only driven by our desire for status or money, or do we carry a greater, more noble purpose?
