Special Interest Groups
STEP Special Interest Groups offer you the chance to network
with other members with whom you have a shared specialism to
discuss the subject and advance your knowledge in the area.
Membership
While membership of special interest groups is restricted to STEP
members (including students), the groups may seek to broaden their
reach by inviting non members to their events if they wish. The
groups are free to levy a separate membership fee to cover their
costs if necessary.
