Forthcoming LSST-related Meetings
- George Beckett
- Terry Sloan
- Stephen Smartt
There are three significant Rubin / LSST conferences in the summer, which may attract significant LSST:UK interest. These are:
The DESC Collaboration Meeting (University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign/ Virtual, 21-25 July) (DESC Login required) to access meeting page
The Rubin Community Workshop (Tucson, Arizona/ Virtual, 28 July-1 August)
LSST@Europe 7 (Posnan, Poland/ Virtual, 15-19 September)
To help manage potential demand for LSST:UK Pool Travel funding, we are running time-limited calls for all three of these events. Applications for support to attend the DESC Collaboration Meeting and/ or the Rubin Community Workshop, and the LSST@Europe 7 meeting should be submitted by 4pm UK time on Friday 2 May.
(Note that we assume the DESC Collaboration Meeting has been scheduled to align with the Rubin Community Workshop and will consider applicants from people wishing to attend both.)
Details of how to apply for LSST:UK Pool Travel funding are available at https://lsst-uk.atlassian.net/wiki/x/LYCKAQ. We will aim to confirm the outcome of applications by the end 9 May.
It will be possible to apply for funding for these conferences after the deadline, though applications will only be considered if there is budget available.
Please let George Beckett know if you have any questions or comments.
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. You may also find interesting meeting, events, and workshops posted on the Rubin Community Forum.
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.
