(by Rodolfo Calò) (ANSAmed) – TEHRAN – The presentation of what has been dubbed the ‘Islamic Nobel Prize’ for science and technology was held on Monday in the Iranian capital’s Pardis Technological Park. The Mustafa Science and Technology Prize, in honor of one of the 201 names (”the chosen one”) of Prophet Mohamed, aims to encourage scholars from Muslim countries and those of the south-eastern Mediterranean to promote and elevate their works. The prize intends to create a ”platform” for scientists and specialists to present their latest works and to increase scientific and technological collaboration in the Islamic world.

This is indeed a great undertaking if objective is to promote Science & Technology and not meant for any political ambition/intentions. Playing politics with such platforms or organizations will have far deep damage than benefit. Hope it all plays out well in the long run and this organization is able to pull together a pool of like-minded and operates without religious/political prejudice!
