Our Member Institutions

LSST Discovery Alliance is a coalition of dozens of institutions committed to maximizing the potential of Rubin LSST through inclusive participation in scientific discovery. Join us in changing how science is done, how it’s funded, and who’s at the table.

In addition, our Expansion Partnership Program invites member institutions to initiate a funded partnership with a small or under-resourced institution, with the goal of diversifying our scientific community.
