The Paris-based International Academy of History of Sciences has declared that its Alexandre Koyré Medal, a distinction award granted once every two years since 1968, will be awarded to Professor Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, Secretary General of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC).
The Koyré medal is awarded to outstanding scholars for their innovative achievements in the evolution of studies in the history of science. The recepient of the medal is elected by vote by the members of the Acedemy.
Ihsanoglu is the first Turkish scholar to be awarded this medal, which he will receive in a ceremony to be held at the Academy in Paris, France, on 12 December 2008.
Professor Ihsanoglu is to receive the medal for his outsanding and innovative research and publications. He is the author of a fifteen-volume work on the history of science during the Otoman period, which took 25 years to put together with a team of researchers under his direction.
Founded in 1927, the International Academy of History of Science grants the Alexandre Koyré medal, which honours the publication of a work in the history of science. The medal was granted for the first time to Derek Thomas Whiteside who compiled Isaac Newton’s works, while Guy Beaujouan was the last awardee.
