APAN Fellowship program
The objective of the APAN Fellowship Program is to promote global collaboration through participation in APAN meetings.
By attending APAN meetings, Fellows have the opportunity to build connections with and learn from other students, researchers, engineers, and technology leaders. Earlier this year, as part of the Fellowship Program, 20 fellows from 10 countries were able to attend and participate in APAN61 in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Fellowships are offered on a competitive basis. Students (graduates and undergraduates) and early-career researchers are encouraged to apply.
How to apply

Programme Details
Fellowship details and eligibility
- Applications are encouraged from graduate and undergraduate students, as well as young researchers.
- Applicants presenting at APAN62 will receive priority consideration.
- Please note that presenting at APAN62 requires a separate submission under the Call for Presentation Proposals (to be issued later). Selection for fellowship does not guarantee acceptance as a presenter — both processes are managed independently
Fellowship coverage
The fellowship includes:
- Meals: breakfast at accommodation provider, lunch, tea during the conference, and two social dinners.
- Per-diem allowances: covers airport-to-venue transport, and remaining dinners. This may include a transport allowance from the international airport to accommodation (and vice versa) or other ground transportation and uncovered meals during the meeting.
- Accommodation: Twin-sharing basis with breakfast during APAN62 (venue to be notified to successful applicants).
If you plan to arrange your own accommodation at your own cost, you must notify the APAN Secretariat at least one month in advance to avoid non-refund of the accommodation allowance. Please do not request a single room or specific roommates, or make independent bookings without notification, as this disrupts planning.
Important airfare requirements
- Applicants must provide proof of airfare support (from their institution/organisation or self-funded) at the time of application. Without this letter, applications will be immediately rejected.
- If you are self-funding your airfare, you may be required to submit a confirmed itinerary upon fellowship acceptance.
- We strongly advise checking flight availability and approvals before applying to avoid last-minute cancellations, which disrupt the selection process.
Attendance commitment
- Except during official APAN social events, fellows are responsible for their own dinner expenses.
- Applicants with prior no-shows without notice will be automatically rejected under the Blacklisting Policy
The APAN62 Fellowship is proudly sponsored by APAN and FLEXOPTIX
