🌐 Cyber resilience is built before a crisis begins.

At APAN62 in Auckland, research and education network leaders from across the Asia-Pacific signed the Auckland Declaration of Intent on Cyber Resilience - a shared commitment to strengthen trust, preparedness, information sharing, incident coordination and mutual support across our regional community.

Research and education are deeply international. So when disruption happens, our response needs to be connected too.

Signed at the APAN/Asi@Connect Leaders Forum, the declaration brings together leaders from TEIN*CC/Asi@Connect, Asia Pacific Advanced Network and REANNZ Ltd., and recognises that resilience is not only about technology. It is also about the relationships, trust and cooperation that allow people to act quickly when it matters.

A proud moment for APAN in Auckland, and an important step for regional collaboration across the research and education network community.

Webinar : Moving Beyond Pain Points in the University Data Cente

Higher-education data centers are expected to support increasingly demanding workloads while operating within tight budget, staffing, and infrastructure constraints. At the same time, universities depend on their data centers to deliver always-on services that support teaching, research, and core institutional operations, making reliability and operational stability mission-critical. Clearly understanding and addressing key pain points is essential to sustaining these environments over time.

In this webinar, we will explore the most common data center fabric challenges facing higher-education institutions today and discuss practical ways to mitigate them. Rather than focusing on specific technologies or architectures, this session highlights the core considerations universities should keep in mind when planning for a more resilient and efficient data center fabric.

Join us to explore key takeaways designed to help institutions strengthen their approach, including how to:
-Identify and reduce sources of operational complexity
-Balance performance and efficiency
-Improve day-to-day reliability while managing risk
-Establish a foundation that can evolve as institutional needs continue to change

Register to learn how universities can better position their data center fabrics to address today’s pain points while remaining prepared for what comes next.

Shaping the Future of Digital Education: Nordic Insights for the Asia Pacific NREN Community by INSPERA, APAN's Industry Member.

The Nordic region is recognised globally as a benchmark for digital maturity in higher education. In this session, we unpack the how behind the large-scale success of SIKT and SUNET across two critical pillars:

Scaling Digital Assessment: Discover how national implementations have transitioned seamlessly into exam hall and BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) environments — and what it takes to get there.

Upholding Academic Integrity: Learn why Inspera Originality was selected for landmark national procurements, delivering advanced similarity detection and plagiarism control across entire member institution networks.

Building a Global Community
As a committed partner in the Asia Pacific region's digital evolution, Inspera is proud to facilitate this knowledge exchange between the Nordic and Asia Pacific NREN communities. Whether you are an institutional leader, IT administrator, assessment coordinator, or academic integrity champion, this session offers a practical roadmap for scaling your digital ecosystem with confidence.

Call For PROPOSALS for APAN62 happening from the 10th - 14th August 2026 in Auckland, New Zealand.

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 recent 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 focuses on actual researchers, educators, and technical support staff, bringing together those who need networks with those who build them.
