Core to ASTP’s achievements and values is the work of the membership. From the Board to the Special Interest Groups and across all the committees, the work of the association is delivered by the membership.
ASTP is by members for members and is always looking for talent to volunteer for our committees and Special Interest Groups (SIG). Do you have a special interest or capacity you would like to share with the community? If you would like to join a committee, set up a SIG or get involved with our events, the rewards of being central to this international community are limitless.

One of the most dynamic features of the ASTP community is the activity driven by groups of members with shared interest in a particular aspect of KT. These Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are created under the umbrella of ASTP, driven by individual members. Support from ASTP HQ comes in many forms such as hosting meetings, encouraging the digital sharing of ideas as well as newsletters and surveys dedicated to these groups.
If you are interested to create, lead or join a SIG, please contact: arlyta.wibowo-kruzinga@astp4kt.eu
