Overview

The APAN Fellowship Program offers a unique platform for students and early-career researchers to engage in the Asia Pacific Advanced Network (APAN) meetings. Building on the success of the APAN60 Fellowship Program, which welcomed 18 fellows from 14 economies, we are pleased to announce that applications are now open for the APAN61 Fellowship Program. The 61st APAN Meeting will be hosted from 26–30 January 2026 in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Fellowship Details and Eligibility

· Full details on criteria and selection procedures are available at: https://apan.net/fellowship/

· Applications are encouraged from graduate and undergraduate students, as well as young researchers.

· Applicants presenting at APAN61 will receive priority consideration. Please note that presenting at APAN61 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:

· Registration Fee – Access to all sessions, workshops, and tutorials.

· Food – Lunch, tea during the conference, and two social dinners.

· Per-Diem Allowances – Covers airport-to-venue transport, breakfast, 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 APAN61 (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

· Airfare is NOT covered under the fellowship program.

· 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

· Fellows must be available for the entire week of 26–30 January 2026, with attendance on the first day being mandatory.

· 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.

We look forward to receiving your applications and welcoming another outstanding group of APAN Fellows in Dhaka.
