WATER RESEARCH AUSTRALIA PRESENTS: NEXT-GEN WASTEWATER-BASED EPIDEMIOLOGY | COLOSSOS AND BEYOND
PART 1 – TUESDAY 4 MAY 2021 (Panel 3, 4.00–5.30PM)
PART 2 – WEDNESDAY 5 MAY 2021 (Panel 10, 4.00–5.30PM)

The ColoSSoS Project – Collaboration on Sewage Surveillance of SARSCoV-2 – is a major national collaborative effort, that has seen experts in health, microbiology, laboratory testing and wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) all come together to foster research and create positive impact throughout our communities. More than a year after Water Research Australia commenced the ColoSSoS Project to support the nation’s pandemic response, you can learn more about its impact, the research behind it and what it means for the future of wastewater-based epidemiology.

Over two days WaterRA and a panel of experts will showcase the amazing work being conducted around the country and internationally on sewage surveillance for SARS-CoV-2. Session 1 will highlight the sewage sampling research, including passive sampling, genomic sequencing and interlaboratory trials. Session 2 will highlight how the collaboration and research has been implemented and adopted by industry, as well as capability building both nationally and internationally, with discussion focussed on industry impact and future application of WBE.
