Hosted by the NSW Smart Sensing Network (NSSN) and sponsored by Klarrio, the NSSN Data Working Group inaugural gathering event took place online on 28 September 2020.

NSW universities and CSIRO partner with businesses to create products that minimise the impacts of COVID-19, through the NSW Government’s Research and Development Innovation District Challenges.

This special edition of The Sensor on NSSN Grand Challenges introduces the program, our network’s capabilities and invites you to join us on this journey.

The NSW Smart Sensing Network (NSSN) has announced the first four challenges in its Grand Challenges program: Bushfires, COVID-19, Water and Ageing. All four are significant challenges facing not only Australia but the world.

Published in the Australian Printer magazine, "Printed solar offers new opportunities" by Professor Paul Dastoor explores the potential for printed solar technology to revolutionise the printing industry and to compete with coal-generated power.

The second event in the NSW Sensing Industry Connect series took place on 3 September 2020. Co-hosted by Venture Café Sydney and the NSW Smart Sensing Network (NSSN), the virtual networking event brought together experts from across the MedTech and smart sensing sector.

Scientific discoveries and technological innovations play a crucial role in our fight against the pandemic and provide an economic lever for our country on the road to recovery.

Researchers at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) are using smart sensors and advanced brain signal decoders to improve communication between human brains and robots.

Published in the Australian Printer magazine, "Future-proofing Australian printing with Industry 4.0" explores the role of print manufacturers as both enablers and users of the technology that is in and around Industry 4.0.

Co-hosted by Venture Café Sydney and NSW Smart Sensing Network (NSSN), the NSW Sensing Industry Connect will take place from 17:00 to 19:00 on 9 September 2020.

Australian researchers are using quantum sensing technology to detect leaks and breaks in underground water pipe networks.
