The Asia Pacific Advanced Network (APAN) is an international partnership of national research and education networks (NRENs) across the region. Through AAF’s involvement with APAN, we have proudly supported the establishment of federations across the Asia-Pacific, including Hong Kong, Singapore and New Zealand. The AAF regularly participates in APAN meetings held across the region to further share our knowledge and experience in supporting global research connection and collaboration.
AAF’s Head of Support, Terry Smith, chairs the Identity and Access Management (IAM) Working Group, which focuses on generating awareness and understanding of IAM. The IAM Working group continues to promote the use of identity federations and benefits of increased security, ease of use and improved collaboration opportunities across the region particularly targeting regions that have yet to begin their identity journey.
We look forward to continuing to share our expertise with the APAN community at upcoming 2025 meetings.
