LSST:UK All Hands 2021 meeting : Programme

Call for contributions 

We welcome requests for contributions and have different options available for request 

  • 15min contributed talk in the main session : appropriate content would be scientific plans, follow-up programmes, maximising UK science gains from LSST and other UK facilities 
  • 10-15min contributed talks in the GatherTown parallel sessions : similar content to the above, with more of a focus on the parallel topics 
    • Flash talks and 1-slide posters : we welcome early career researchers, including PhD students, to contribute a 2-3minute "flash talk" based on 1 slide. This should advertise their work and relevance to Rubin and LSST. These flash talks will be be scheduled in the GatherTown parallel sessions, and the 1-slide posters will be pinned there to encourage interaction. 

    Logistics

    Meeting Points of Contact

    For all LSST:UK meetings there are two Meeting Points of Contacts (typically, one female and one male)  to whom attendees may report any concerns they have regarding the behaviour of other attendees, given the LSST:UK Code of Conduct. They may be approached

    in person

    via Zoom chat, by email, or called via a Skype Number, which they will have redirected to forward to their own mobile phone for the duration of the meeting. It is possible that both may be unavailable for some part of the meeting, so contact the second if you receive no response from the first you try.
