The APIE (Asia Pacific Internet Engineering) program concluded its e-Workshop series and Core Course Batch 8 on 11 April 2026 with a milestone session featuring APIE alumni as guest lecturers for the first time. The e-Workshop series is the synchronous component of the APIE Core Course.
Throughout the series, participants engaged with guest lecturers from across the Internet ecosystem, including Mariko Kobayashi (APIDT, WIDE Project), Sheryl ‘Shane’ Hermoso (APNIC), and Shin Shirahata, who contributed sessions on Internet governance, the Internet ecosystem, and network infrastructure.
Alief Fauzan (ITB), Nguyen Thuy Quynh (HUST), Ahmad Zaky Hafizzany (UNHAS), and Syifani Adilllah Salsabila (UB) shared their experiences after APIE, connecting learning with real-world practice in the Internet and telecommunications industry.
They also highlighted how the program can open pathways to further engagement through fellowships and initiatives with organizations such as APNIC, APAN, ICANN, and APNG Camp.
“[…]APIE is a safe and supportive environment for beginners to learn and grow.”

The session reflected the strength of the APIE community, with alumni continuing to contribute as teaching assistants and supporting upcoming activities, including the next APIE Camp in Hanoi.
Following the completion of the Core Course, eligible participants from this batch will have the opportunity to apply for the upcoming APIE Camp at VNNIC headquarters in Vietnam.
