Based on the country working papers and additional survey/desk-based research across the rest of the OIC member states, the Project Managers (RS/SESRIC) will produce an agenda-setting overview report, which highlights commonalities and differences between the countries, and draws wider conclusions about the prospects for science and innovation across the Islamic world, and closer collaboration with the rest of the world.

The report will include recommendations for governments, industry and higher education, and short commentaries from leading thinkers in the Islamic world. The final report will be translated into Arabic and French. All outputs, including country working papers and the overview report, will be peer reviewed, to ensure they are high quality, rigorous and independent.
