Special Interest Groups

Special interest groups (SIGs) are communities of IChemE members from around the world sharing common expertise and interests by organising physical and virtual events and activities that allow members to share knowledge and discuss subjects specific to that group. IChemE members are entitled to join SIGs free of charge as part of their membership package.
