This conference aims to build on the successful outcomes of the first four meetings in the UK, Serbia, France, and Italy, and to further collaboratively develop LSST science opportunities. We anticipate that the Rubin Construction and Operations teams will report on the observatory construction status, data products and updated timelines. We also plan to put the emphasis on in-kind contributions, and particularly on those originating in Europe. The meeting will be conducted in a hybrid format to enable access for remote participants and the wider Rubin/LSST community. We are planning for up to 300 in-person participants, and anticipate funds for enhancing participation by junior researchers.
Topics: LSST, astronomy, astrophysics, stars, galaxies, lensing, variables, transients, surveys, space
