• Associate Membership

  Any Institute for Higher Learning established under the Universities act No 16 of 1978, or a Research and Development Institute coming under a government ministry, who agrees with the objectives of the LEARN Association can apply for Associate Membership. The Board of Directors, subject to an annual membership fee, will confer membership only after the approval of the application.
