By David Highton. On behalf of the NIRStralia organising committee.

We are delighted to be hosting the NIRStralia SfNIRS endorsed symposium within the biennial meeting of the International Council for NIR Spectroscopy (NIR2019) on 17-18th Sept. Hosted on the idyllic Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia this meeting offers a unique opportunity to engage and share research across the broadest range of NIR applications.

This collaboration between SfNIRS and International Council for NIRSNIR2019 meeting will bring international fNIRS and medical NIRS researchers together, to exchange ideas, and foster collaboration with NIRS users in industry, agriculture and multiple other areas. NIRStralia aims to be the home for biomedical NIRS research in Australasian region, and is moving from strength to strength since our inaugural meeting in 2018. We look forward to seeing you there!
