How to get involved

CIOL Networks & Societies


CIOL has a number of active member-led networks ranging from its three specialist divisions to a number of societies worldwide which cover different languages, sectors and locations. Each plays an important role by offering members a range of CPD-based events and activities which support CIOL’s strategic aims and as well as affording an opportunity for CIOL members to come together online and face to face for mutual benefit.
