– Studying the historical, cultural and human structure of Ibn Khaldoun to discover the influence of his contemporaries on him and his influence on them.

– Collaborating with the local government in Spain which set up a special museum for Ibn Khaldoun, aiming to prioritize and keep up his heritage, particularly when Spain government paid much interest to his role.

The specific recommendations included copying the researches presented in the symposium in a book to be sent to all writers and participants and translating some research into foreign languages.
