Introduction
UK researchers will obtain access to proprietary LSST data in return for the UK’s in-kind contribution to Rubin operations, which is primarily provided by the STFC-funded LSST:UK Science Centre (LUSC) programme, supplemented by some additional effort being donated to Rubin commissioning. The content of the UK in-kind package has been approved by the Rubin Management Board, but the UK Data Rights Agreement, which will formalise the arrangements for UK data rights, has not yet been signed by STFC and the US Department of Energy. It is hoped that this will be signed before long, but we must take action now, as many current UK data rights holders have terms that end on 30/09/25.
...
The action to be taken by existing data rights holders (who are not contributing to the UK in-kind programme) depends on the end-date of the current data rights term, as listed on the current UK data rights holders list:
Those who current data rights term ends before 30/09/26 will be emailed to ascertain whether they want their term extended to 30/09/26.
Those who current data rights term end after 30/09/26 need do nothing, as this round only concerns the award of data rights to that date.
...
As part of the application process, new applicants for data rights be required to sign the LSST:UK Code of Conduct, so you should read that before applying.
