Motivation and Background
One of the key missions of APSIPA is to provide education, research and development exchange platforms for both academia and industry. One way to accomplish this mission is to recruit academia and industrial labs to become APSIPA Friend Labs.

Benefits
All APSIPA Friend Labs will be listed in the APSIPA website. Each lab has one page to post lab information, photos and a link to the lab home page. The provided data in the on-line application form will be used to generate the friend lab page in the APSIPA website. We will encourage mutual visit and information sharing among APSIPA Friend Labs.

Application Criterion
An academia or industrial lab is qualified to become an APSIPA friend lab if it has at least 10 current or former lab members who are full or associate members of APSIPA. A person can become an APSIPA associate member by joining the APSIPA Group in Linkedin. A person can become an APSIPA full member by clicking the "Join Us" button in the up-right corner of the APSIPA homepage and following the given instructions.
