During Phase A, the LSST:UK Science Centre has some funding available to cover travel and subsistence costs1 resulting from attendance at LSST Science Collaboration meetings (typically, in the USA) by LSST:UK Consortium members not in receipt of travel funding through one of the Phase A grants12. Available funds total £91,763 over the four-year duration of the project and it has been agreed, by the LSST:UK Consortium Board that this funding will be allocated in the proportion of 30%, 30%, 20%, and 20% across the four years.
