Progress and Challenges of ISCMNS: Financial Growth, Membership, E-Journal Development

The ISCMNS has experienced gradual growth, albeit with a weak financial base that is slowly improving. Membership is on the rise, albeit modestly, supported by strong sponsorship for ICCF conferences. The society, a registered charity since 2006, is preparing an E-Journal to serve as a primary publication space for CMNS research, though its launch has faced challenges. Efforts to enhance institutional involvement and secure donations are ongoing, alongside the operation of international meetings. Collaboration with local organizing committees is essential for future success.
