Projects

Long-term initiatives and partnerships that give our research its direction and carry it into new fields and to new audiences.

Flagship project

The Classification of the Sciences (Tartīb al-ʿUlūm)

The flagship project of Tabah Foundation

The Classification of the Sciences is the flagship project of Tabah Foundation, carried out by its research division, Tabah Research. Many of Tabah’s other projects grew out of it, and much of our work, intellectual and practical, still draws on it.
