This page lists information about forthcoming meetings that are likely to be of interest to members of LSST:UK. Similar information can be found on the Rubin Observatory's Events page and on the LSST Corporation's page of activities that it supports. The LSST:UK Exec Group updates this page regularly, but anyone wishing to have an LSST-related meeting added to this list is welcome to contact George Beckett.
LSST:UK operates a Pool Travel Fund that can support UK researchers attending appropriate LSST-related meetings. These funds are awarded by the Exec Group on the basis of the scientific return to the applicant (and the wider LSST:UK community) from their attendance of the particular meeting. Inclusion of a meeting in the list below does not necessarily imply that its prospective attendees would be eligible for support from the Pool Travel Fund, while, conversely, a meeting may still be suitable for support even it is not listed below; the Exec Group will assess each case on its merits, but attendance of meetings directly related to the LSST - e.g., those organised by the Science Collaborations - is much more likely to be supported than participation in more general conferences.
