Abstract

Background: Today, global knowledge achievements of the world's universities easily is accessible by modern technology. In this article, we explore the situation of international scientific exchanges in the era of Islamic civilization.
Method: This study was performed by reviewing the historical texts related to scientific/educational relationship during the era of Islamic civilization.
Results: In the pre-Islamic period, Jundishapur Hospital played an important role in integrating medicine from Greece, Iran, Egypt and India. Due to the high reputation, students came to this university from other places around the world. In the era of Islamic civilization, the translators of the "House of Wisdom" translated Greek, Syriac, Pahlavi and Indian works into Arabic. In addition to the use of scientific texts, exchanges of scientists regardless of their nationality have also been recorded in this era.
The inter-connected network of teaching hospitals, nezamiyehs (Nizamiyyah, in Arabic: النظامیة‎), and Jamia/Jamiea schools (in Arabic جامعة), transmitted discoveries and innovations throughout the vast area of the Islamic civilization.
Conclusion: Scientific exchanges have been occurred continuously in the days of Islamic civilization. Graduates of prestigious scientific centers such as Jundishapur or Nizamiyeh played a main role in such exchange with immigration to other main scientific centers. In addition, transfer of new discoveries through scientific publications of scientists could connect the west to the east of Islamic civilization. This was performed by a network between main educational hospitals.
