Special Interests Groups

CIES currently has 23 special interest groups (SIGs) that allow CIES members who share common research interests to connect and collaborate. SIGs focus on a geographic region or on a specialized topic. SIG membership is $10. SIG dues can be paid at https://subfill.uchicago.edu/JournalPUBS/Donation.aspx?webpub=cer, or at the time of online conference registration.
