The NSW Smart Sensing Network has hosted a Bushfire Smart Sensing Workshop convening 100 participants from across academia, industry and government on 19 October 2021. The workshop aimed to progress a roadmap for smart sensing innovation and identify opportunities for collaborative projects advancing the development and adoption of sensing technologies for bushfires.

Exciting opportunity for an engineering specialist in electronics and development to join our team at the NSW Smart Sensing Network (NSSN). Closing date for applications is 11.59pm, Sunday 7 November 2021.

In the lead-up to the UN COP26 Glasgow summit, the NSW Smart Sensing Network (NSSN) will host a virtual roundtable event that elucidates the opportunities at the nexus of smart sensing and climate change on 28 October 2021.

Australian researchers have created 'smart' microscope slides that can detect breast cancer cells.

NSSN founding Co-Director Professor Justin Gooding, UNSW Science, and Professor Maria Kavallaris, Children’s Cancer Institute and UNSW Medicine & Health, were recognised for their work on a breakthrough in 3D bioprinting that will be a game-changer in cancer research.

NSW is one step closer to opening its borders as we approach the 80% vaccination rate target. To support the state’s plan to return to normal, the NSW Smart Sensing Network has partnered with industry and universities to develop a “data safe” quarantine monitoring system that could be used by arrivals once state and national borders reopen.

UNSW engineers have identified a new simpler method to detect tiny microbes in water which cause significant health risks and potentially even death.

Researchers from the University of Sydney, the Australian National University, UNSW and Macquarie University are part of an $850,000 joint initiative between the Department of Planning Industry and Environment (DPIE) and the NSW Smart Sensing Network (NSSN) that will use new and innovative technology to enhance the state’s knowledge of water movement.
