<p class="MsoNormal"> 2020 has been a pivotal year for the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (<a href="https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/tOyECvl1rKi5R3vLtQcL31?domain=lsst.org/" target="_blank"><span style="color:blue">LSST</span></a>), to be carried out by the Vera C. Rubin Observatory. A virtual half-day workshop
is to be held on Monday 14 Dec (starting at noon AEDT = 9am AWST) at which Australian Science Lead for the LSST, Prof. Sarah Brough will update the community on the in-kind proposal process underway to secure data access rights for at least 35 Australian PIs
(and up to 4 Junior Researchers each). Following that will be short presentations about work that Australian researchers and their groups are currently involved in that relate to the LSST, the various
