Asia-Pacific Advanced Network (APAN)
APAN (Asia-Pacific Advanced Network) is an organisation that represents member institutions as well as a backbone network connecting member countries and regions in Asia and Oceania to each other and to other international research and education networks. APAN coordinates activities related to network technology, services, and applications among its member institutions and with other international organisations. APAN is also an important facilitator of network-enabled research and education activities such as research collaboration, knowledge discovery and sharing, telemedicine, and natural disaster mitigation.

About
APAN Meetings
APAN's international community meets twice each year, with working groups, Birds-of-a-Feather sessions, committees, plenary sessions, and other meetings bringing together members and other interested participants to review progress, demonstrate advances in technology and applications, and plan future activities.
Each meeting is hosted by a member country or region. In August 2026, the 62nd Meeting of APAN will take place in Tāmaki Makaurau / Auckland, co-hosted with the Research and Education Advanced Network New Zealand (REANNZ).
