• Acknowledging the need for developing awareness regarding heritage issues among the younger generations another category of ‘student members’ has been proposed and approved in the General Body meeting of ICOMOS Pakistan in September 2008, with a nominal one-time membership fee. This category of membership will be open to all students of any relevant fields related to cultural heritage (students from post-graduate programs will not be considered under this category).

• All information received by the secretariat regarding conferences, workshops, scholarships and grants, training programs and other such activities is disseminated to all categories of ICOMOS Pakistan members.
