SAN is a network of Australian artistic and scientific researchers who understand the value of interdisciplinary and experimental approaches to knowledge production. Comprising 100+ artists and scientists who have participated in ANAT’s art/science residency programs since the late-1990’s, the network met in Adelaide for the second time in October 2018.

Post-meeting evaluation found unequivocal support for annual SAN meetings, and pointed particularly to the network’s potential for seeding future partnerships and projects, and its value as a ‘community of practice’ for innovators across the arts and sciences. One attendee commented “It’s a great opportunity to announce new, residencies, celebrate past residency outcomes and to network. It could be an opportunity to take  advantage of the Alumni’s presence to have a structured/informal or formal discussion about issues that arise from the program and participants current practices, that would  benefit alumni and program’s development.”
