Sociotechnical specialist group

We’re a community of IT professionals and enthusiasts who are passionate about social and technical matters in the advancement of IT.

Welcome to our group!

We run three continuing series of lectures. In London they are held at the University of Westminster, in the north of England they are held at the University of Sunderland and in the South West they are held at the University of the West of England.

If you want to get involved or have any ideas for our forthcoming programme, please do get in touch at groups@bcs.uk.

We look forward to seeing you at our next event.

Dr Jose Abdelnour Nocera, Chair

About us

The BCS Sociotechnical group promotes the view that in developing, using and studying ICT systems, it is essential to give due weight to both social and technical factors.

This view will be supported by a programme of sociotechnically based research, analysis, education and commentary.

The work of the ST Group is founded on principles originally developed in the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations in the 1950s, adapted to meet changing social conditions and emerging new technologies.
