LSST and the Dark Energy Survey have announced a joint workshop at Fermilab March 24-27, 2014 to share information about tools and lessons learned and to discuss future synergistic activities. The first three days of the workshop will be filled with talks on topics of broader interest; the final day (Thursday) will be available for smaller, more focused meetings. The chairs of the Scientific Organizing Committee request that suggestions for Thursday topics and participants be emailed to them (ivezic@astro.washington.edu and dodelson@fnal.gov). Note also that in addition to invited talks, the SOC may accept a limited number of contributed talks.

Financial support for Rubin Observatory comes from the National Science Foundation (NSF) through Cooperative Support Agreement No. 1202910, the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science under Contract No. DE-AC02-76SF00515, and private funding raised by the LSST Corporation. The NSF-funded Rubin Observatory Project Office for construction was established as an operating center under management of the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA). The DOE-funded effort to build the the Rubin Observatory LSST Camera (LSSTCam) is managed by the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (SLAC).
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is an
independent federal agency created by Congress
in 1950 to promote the progress of science. NSF supports basic research and people to create knowledge that transforms the future.
NSF and DOE will continue to support Rubin Observatory in its Operations phase. They will also provide support for scientific research with LSST data.
