Membership benefits

Stay connected. Stay inspired.

Discover everything your membership has to offer.

Collaboration

Progress happens when we work together.

Publish your work, respond to calls for papers and poster events, and share ideas with a global network.

We offer support to authors, editors and contributors, from submitting a proposal to publication and beyond. Publishing with our Open Access journals increases the potential readership of your work and can provide increased opportunities for your career and funding prospects. Members also receive discounted rates on call for paper and poster event attendance, on Article Publication Charges and have access to a discounted editing service.

You’ll also have the chance to shape the next generation and give back to the profession.

Through our volunteering opportunities, there are lots of ways to get involved - whether you’re looking to create love for STEM subjects amongst young people, support professionals striving to achieve Professional Registration or champion engineering and technology at policy level, you have the opportunity to do something new.

Because better never stops - and neither do we.
