The inaugural conference of the Islamic Culture Conference Series took place at the Lisbon Academy of Sciences. The event was attended by Peter Adamson, a professor at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich and author of numerous works on Arab culture and the philosophy of the ancient Islamic world.
The inaugural lecture, titled "The Frightened Sheep and the Mouse’s Tail: Philosophy of Animals in the Islamic World", was delivered by Adamson, a recognized expert in the field.
This initiative stems from a collaborative program between the Lisbon Academy of Sciences and the Sharjah Book Authority from the United Arab Emirates. The program encompasses the restoration, preservation, and scientific study of the Academy Library's important collection of Arabic manuscripts.
