Following on from the first NSSN COVID-19 Forum, this Forum asks how sensing & diagnostics can help stop the spread of COVID-19. As the global COVID-19 pandemic continues and the focus turns towards emerging from the pandemic, our panel of world-class researchers will explore the delivery of solutions across a complexity of layers.

As a consortium of leading universities in NSW, the NSSN is well-placed to inform society of the research and development taking place in NSW and which is contributing to the wellbeing and health of the public in these ever-changing times.
