Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are a key aspect of BERA membership. These groups represent the particular research concerns of groups of members, encompassing both different disciplinary approaches to educational research and different educational concerns. The SIGs provide ways of bringing together groups of individuals within education who share the same interests or approaches to research. SIG activites take place across the UK. Involvement with these SIGs can be through attending SIG meetings and/or through participating with the SIG worksites (these take place in on-line community space.) A list of current SIGs is available here.

Associated Societies are UK research societies which have similar aims to BERA but focus on a particular arena of research. They are independent of BERA but liaise in order to foster common interests. The list of Associated Associations can be found here.
