LSST:UK Announcements Email List

All who are interested in LSST:UK are encouraged to subscribe the the LSST:UK Announcements email list. This is the primary channel for communicating a number of important announcements of interest to the LSST:UK Community.

Introduction

LSST:UK uses an email list lusc-announce@jiscmail.ac.uk, hosted by JISCMail, to disseminate important announcements to the LSST:UK community.

The list is intended to be low-traffic, reserved for significant news of wide interest. For example:

  • Calls for elections to positions within LSST:UK and for the annual PI selection round;
  • Calls for travel support to major meetings for which we have set a budget limit;
  • LSST-related scientific announcements of general interest.

All who are interested in LSST:UK are encouraged to subscribe (see below for details on how to do this).

The list is hosted on JISCmail and previous posts will be visible to subscribers via the JISCmail web interface.

Posting to the list

Only the Project Manager, Project Leader, and Project Scientist can post to this list: attempts from other users will be rejected. If you do have an announcement that you believe should be posted to this list, please contact the Project Manager George Beckett.
