LSST Discovery Alliance (LSST-DA) recognizes the power of collaborative networks in advancing science in our era of big data. These networks foster innovation, inclusive opportunities for discoveries, and increased creativity through broader knowledge bases, shared resources, and enhanced data accessibility and analysis capabilities.
A recent, large-scale science community survey shows that increased engagement with a collaborative community of scientists is one of the most relevant factors for anticipated scientific success with the Vera C. Rubin Observatory’s Legacy Survey of Space and Time (Rubin’s LSST).
LSST-DA collaborations offer opportunities for discovery, idea exchange, and cross-institutional growth. Explore the pages below to learn more about these networks and consider participating.
Science Collaborations
There are currently eight active Rubin Observatory LSST science collaborations.
Rubin Undergraduate Network (RUN)
RUN is committed to furthering opportunities for undergraduate students at under-resourced institutions.
