<br class="">
<div class="">This conference follows the very successful LSST@Europe1 (Cambridge), 2 (Belgrade) and 3 (Lyon) workshops organized in 2013, 2016 and 2018 to foster the European participation in the LSST project, as well as the analogous LSST@ASIA organized in
2019 by and for the Asian, Australian and African communities. <br class="">
<br class="">
The LSST project is moving forward in the construction phase, and activities in the LSST Science Collaborations are vibrant and involve a significant European participation.<br class="">
The recent adoption of an “in-kind” contribution to regulate the access of International participants to the LSST data clearly represents a major paradigm shift for the participation of the European astronomical community, with existing agreements that need
to be re-negotiated by mid-2021. <br class="">
The LSST@Europe4 conference, right in the middle of this path, provides the community with a perfect opportunity to discuss proposals and plans.<br class="">
<br class="">
In this framework, the main objectives of LSST@Europe4 are to:<br class="">
- provide an update of the status of the LSST Project;<br class="">
- foster and promote the participation of European scientists to the activities of the Science Collaborations;<br class="">
- discuss opportunities and proposals to help European participants shape the “in-kind” contributions for the development of the LSST project;<br class="">
- discuss potential common initiatives at the European level to support the participation of European scientists to LSST;<br class="">
- provide an update description of the LSST data products of different levels;<br class="">
- discuss the LSST science drivers: current perspectives and future developments;<br class="">
- explore synergies with other facilities, with a special emphasis on the European ones.<br class="">
<br class="">
The conference is organised by INAF, the LSST Corporation, Accademia dei Lincei and La Società Astronomica Italiana.</div>
<div class="">It will be hosted by the prestigious Accademia dei Lincei, conveniently located in the very center of Rome between St. Peter and the historical centre.</div>
