Why is IMASE different to all the other Muslim scientist organisations out there? |

IMASE is different in that it is international in nature, with active cooperation from members
from all over the world. A major asset of ours is the Global Expertise Database, which can be
accessed quickly and efficiently to address the needs of specific
projects conducted either by IMASE or our associates.
Today, most new influences and technology is
presently generated from a Western knowledge culture and a peculiar developmental paradigm.
The Muslim peoples, whilst enjoying few of the benefits of technological
advances, are mainly consumers. Our collective effort aims to
play a beneficial role in remedying this situation. IMASE firmly
believes that science and technology should be undertaken for the
benefit of life, dignity and the environment, and not for profit or hegemony.
IMASE is also different in that it avoids duplicating
the works of other organisations, rather it complements them by
collaborating and connecting with their activities where possible.
Most importantly,
IMASE strives to be an action-orientated organisation, with an emphasis
on delivering practical solutions. Our activities
include organising internship schemes, work placements and volunteer
programmes in different parts of the world. We also plan to collaborate
with various companies and organisations to provide a jobs database. In
the long term, and with a large enough, interacting database, we propose to serve as
a global consulting platform, which can help Muslim and non-Muslim
organisations, companies, agencies and governments, in most areas of
science and technology.
