==APEC Study Centre Consortium==
In 1993, APEC Leaders decided to establish a network of APEC Study Centres (APCs) among universities and research institutions in member economies. The purpose is to foster cooperation among tertiary and research institutes of member economies, thus having better academic collaboration on key regional economic challenges. To encourage independence from the APEC conference, the APCs are funded independently and choose their own research topics.<ref name="ASCC">{{Cite web|url=http://www.apec.org/en/Groups/Other-Groups/APEC-Study-Centers-Consortium.aspx|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20101201162758/http://www.apec.org/en/Groups/Other-Groups/APEC-Study-Centers-Consortium.aspx|url-status=dead|title=APEC Study Center Contortium|archivedate=1 December 2010}}</ref>

As of December 2018, there are 70 APCs among the member economies. An annual conference is usually held in the host economy for that year.<ref name="ASCC" />
