APAN 53 Virtual Meeting and Conference
7-11 March 2022 – https://apan53.apan.net
Research and Education have become ever more collaborative, cross-institutional, and international. They depend on advanced, high-quality and high-performance networks to reach collaborators, teachers, students, as well as access to key research infrastructure. The current pandemic situation has further demonstrated the immense value of networks to support research, education and societies as they maintain connectivity and communication across cities, nations and continents.
The Members of APAN have been delivering the National Research and Education (NREN) services to their member institutions for many years, and continually evolve to support the explosion in Research and Education demands. APAN focusses on actual researchers, educators and technical support staff, bringing together those who need networks with those who build them.
APAN 53 will again be run online, with a range of innovative interaction models across all session-types and demonstrating the abilities of modern collaboration technologies to deliver an engaging experience regardless of location. The opening session will include in-person presentations for those in Bangladesh, as well as being made available online.
