+# Federated learning with APPFL
+
+The Advanced Privacy Preserving Federated Learning framework, [APPFL](https://github.com/APPFL/APPFL), provides an example on how to use its `MonaiTrainer` to train federated learning models using MONAI's [FL components](https://docs.monai.io/en/latest/fl.html). The tutorial is available at [here](https://appfl.ai/en/latest/tutorials/examples_monai.html).
