Workshop Schedule 

This three-day workshop will bring together participants to envision the next decade of Rubin science and strategy. It is intended to be the first in a series of focused workshops aimed at shaping a long-term vision for Rubin in the post-LSST era.  Our goal is to identify and develop compelling science opportunities for the post-LSST era, including possibilities such as narrow- and medium-band surveys, alternative cadences, added or new instrumental capabilities, targets of opportunity, and related initiatives. We aim to produce a tangible outcome, such as a white paper or short report, summarizing the most promising opportunities and outlining potential pathways toward implementation.

To RSVP, please fill out the registration form by June 1, 2026: https://forms.gle/7Sd5eGdkNQUKf8v28
