ANU College of Engineering & Computer Science encourage our female students to network with each other, as well as with their male colleagues, on a regular basis so that they build new networks and make new friends to support themselves and each other while studying (and beyond).

From time-to-time the College organises get-togethers for female students, and we particularly welcome their voluntary assistance for outreach programs to help other young women decide on a career in engineering and computer science.

We are a global network of women who support women networking for social change and women’s empowerment, through the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs). We promote gender equality in the design, development, implementation, access to and use of ICTs and in the policy decisions and frameworks that regulate them.

Our programme members are specialists in areas such as training, information facilitation, technical work and policy issues. Many work on a voluntary basis and are mostly experienced network users rather than formally-trained ICT experts. We come from different backgrounds: among us are activists on issues such as housing, environmental protection and women’s health; librarians, journalists, web developers, trainers, technicians, and user support providers. Some of us work for Internet Service/Content Service Providers (ISP/CSP) that are members of the Association For Progressive Communications. Some are independent activists, and some are members of women’s organizations.

The objective of the APAN fellowship program is to promote "Global collaboration" through applicants participation in APAN meetings, held twice yearly. It is hoped the meeting will provide the environment to "network" with other researchers.  Graduate and  undergraduate students as well as young researchers are encouraged to apply.
