Charles Sturt joins NSW Smart Sensing Network

Charles Sturt University has joined the NSW Smart Sensing Network (NSSN), pledging to work with other universities to deliver smart sensing solutions across multiple industries.

The university has joined existing members in the innovation network including the Australian National University, Macquarie University, University of Newcastle, University of Technology Sydney, UNSW, University of Sydney and Western Sydney University.

Under the agreement, Charles Sturt University will collaborate with the network on research across its seven thematic areas: built environment, data analytics, environment and agtech, manufacturing, medtech, resources and energy, and space and aviation.

As a member of the network, Charles Sturt also has access to direct funding available via the annual NSSN Grand Challenges Fund, which was established in 2021 to support collaborative R&D projects that respond to one of six challenges faced by NSW. These are bushfires, water, COVID-19, ageing, smart places and mining.

Charles Sturt University Pro Vice-Chancellor for Research and Innovation Professor Michael Friend said the NSSN has demonstrated the power of collaboration between universities, and between academia and industry.

“As an innovation network, the NSSN brings together universities with industry and government to translate world-class research into compelling solutions,” he said. “We look forward to working with other NSSN member universities to create solutions with meaningful outcomes for all NSW.”
