ISCMNS is gradually growing but needs to strengthen its financial base, increase membership, and establish its own e-journal. Efforts are needed to secure donations, attract corporate members, and collaborate with related groups. The society aims to become a principal managing body and archive research outcomes from international meetings. The focus is on creating a strong editorial board and quick publication process for the Journal of Condensed Matter Nuclear Science.
