Ø      As a member of the Governing Council of the NAM S&T Centre, the member country participates in policy decisions, such as establishing the guidelines for the work of the Centre, considering and adopting the work programme and the budget of the Centre and examining and approving the reports of the Director of the Centre.

Ø      The member country receives total financial support for international travel, boarding/lodging and per diem of its one nominee for participation in each of the seminars, workshops, training courses etc. organised by the Centre. Additional nominees for any activity are entitled to free local hospitality while attending such scientific events.

Ø      The member country receives support under the scheme on ‘Young Scientist Lectureship Award’ towards international fare for travel of its one specialist for affiliation with an institution in another member country in an area of mutual interest, while the cost towards local hospitality, transport etc. is to be met by the host institution.

Ø      The member country receives support under the scheme on ‘Joint NAM S&T Centre – ICCS Fellowship’ towards international fare and local hospitality, e.g. furnished accommodation and meals, and an out-of-pocket allowance @US$100 per month for the affiliation of a scientist to work for up to 3 months in the laboratories of the International Centre for Chemical Sciences (ICCS) (H.E.J. Research Institute of Chemistry and Dr. Panjwani Centre for Molecular Medicine and Drug Research), University of Karachi, Pakistan.

Ø      The member country receives free printed copies of the Centre’s quarterly Newsletter, which provides information on important scientific events, achievements and discoveries specifically in the developing world and also on various activities of the NAM S&T Centre.

Ø      The member country may disseminate the information on its S&T developments and any scientific announcements on the Centre’s website www.namstct.org as also in the Centre’s Newsletter free of cost. 

Ø     The member country may procure copies of various priced publications of the Centre at a heavily discounted rate over the catalogue price for dissemination to its scientists and scientific institutions.

Ø     The NAM S&T Centre facilitates the organisation of training and hands-on courses for the scientists of the member country in another country on payment basis.

Ø      A scientific institution or agency designated by the member country may host and organize scientific activities jointly with the NAM S&T Centre on a cost-sharing basis, which provides not only an international exposure to the host institution but also a scope for scientist-to-scientist contact and establishing bilateral collaborative relation.

 

The primary source of revenue for the Centre is the yearly subscription received from the member countries.
 
The yearly rate of subscription as laid down by the Governing Council of the Centre is US $ 10,000 for all member states, except for the least developed countries (LDC), who are required to pay only US $ 5,000 per annum. However, the member countries with less than $10 b GDP and LDC member countries with less than $5 b may pay the annual subscription of US $5,000 and US $2,500, respectively.
