The '''Australian Partnership for Advanced Computing''' (APAC) was an Australian organisation established in 1998 to provide advanced computing and grid infrastructure for Australian research communities. APAC was established under the [[Systemic Infrastructure Initiative]] objective of the Australian Government's [[Backing Australia's Ability]] innovation plan. The Australian National University was the host institution for APAC.<br />
<br />
In 2007, APAC was replaced by the Platforms for Collaboration (PfC) capability 5.16 of the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS). The APAC National Facility was replaced with the [[National Computational Infrastructure National Facility (Australia)|National Computational Infrastructure]] component of PfC. The APAC Grid program was replaced with the Interoperation and Collaboration Infrastructure (ICI) component of PfC.<br />
