Following the transformation of the digital world, there are increasing needs for sensing technologies that can operate in harsh environments, such as those required for infrastructure monitoring in transportation and civil engineering, smart building, precision agriculture, and those exposed to chemicals and other harsh environments in a variety of industries and environmental sectors. UK has a strong industrial presence in many such industry sectors where sensors needs to operate in harsh environments. It also has a most vibrant sensor research community relevant to harsh environment sensing technologies.

In this one-day workshop, we aim to bring together industry users, sensor technology providers, new technology developers, and other relevant stakeholders including innovation funders, to network, sharing of knowledge, to stimulate new ideas, develop collaborations & partnerships, and to promote the innovation development in such sensing technologies in the UK.
