Regional cooperation
Following the example of NITUB, Professor Mangala Manandhar of the Central Department of Chemistry, Tribhuban University, Nepal, took the initiative to form Network of Instrument Technical personnel and User scientists of Nepal (NITUN). Resource persons from NITUB conducted NITUN's Workshops and Executive Committee members of NITUB had visited Nepal and put forward suggestions during formation of NITUN.

NITUN is yet to become an active network, but scientists from Nepal are taking part in some of the training programmes of NITUB. Scientists from Bhutan, Myanmar & Nepal were invited to take part in NITUB's first Regional Training Programme on Common Laboratory Equipment in 2004. The programme was supported by IFS & OPCW.
Five participants from Nepal & two from Myanmar participated in the workshop. The two participants from Bhutan could not ultimately participate in the programme. Regional cooperation is expected to be extended to other countries in the region for example to Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia.
