Parallel Sessions:
proposals for other parallel sessions: please contact us ASAP, and definitely by April 26th.

Parallel Sessions
We wish to support community proposals for two kinds of parallel session:
A series of talks run through Zoom
A discussion held in GatherTown
Those interested in organising a parallel session of either kind are encouraged to contact the organising committee (by emailing LUSC-CONFERENCE@JISCMAIL.AC.UK) ASAP and, definitely, to have completed the online form for proposing parallel sessions by 16.00 on April 26th.
We will aim to respond to your request as soon as possible. We will provide the Zoom or GatherTown resources needed for your session, and will help to advertise it, but, otherwise, it will be up to you to organise the contributions to your session and to host it.
Existing parallel sessions
Solar System. LSST is slated to make a significant contribution to the study of the Solar System, delivering over a billion highly precise observations of millions of Solar System objects (5mmag photometry and 10mas astrometry, per observation, at the bright end). This parallel session will focus on how the UK community can best take advantage of the LSST dataset and leverage UK observing and follow-up resources. To apply to talk at this parallel session please complete the online form by April 30th and contact the session organiser (Meg Schwamb : m.schwamb at qub.ac.uk) with any questions.
Contributed Talks
We are soliciting a few 15-min contributed talks for the plenary programme. These should be of interest to a wide subsection of the LSSY:UK community and appropriate topics would be scientific plans, follow-up programmes, maximising UK science gains from the Rubin LSST and other UK facilities.
If you want to give a contributed talk, please complete the online form for proposing contributed talks by 16.00 on April 28th.
We will email successful applications by May 4th.
One-slide Presentations
We want to give as many people as possible the chance to provide a brief summary of their plans for Rubin LSST to the LSST:UK community. To that end, we are inviting one-slide presentations that can be delivered as 3-minute flash talks and/or as posters within GatherTown; our virtual conference venue in GatherTown will feature a poster area, and your avatar can stand next to your poster and you can talk to people who come to look at it.
The meeting registration page include instructions for submitting your one-slide presentation. If you want it to be considered for presentation as a flash talk, please complete the registration from by 16.00 on April 28th. If you only want your slide to be displayed as a poster, just complete the registration form by the general deadline of 16.00 on May 7th.
