What are these meetings?

The NCSA/Illinois Science Survey Group is a group of astronomers and data scientists from the NCSA and the University of Illinois astronomy department working on large astronomical surveys, particularly DES and LSST. These meetings provide a forum to update each other on production challenges, introduce new analysis tools and discuss the scientific applications of these exciting new datasets.

When and where are these meetings?

We hold these meetings at 9 AM the fourth Tuesday of every month in NCSA room 2100 (the Integrated Project Team Lab).

Who is invited to these meetings?

Generally, any member of the NCSA, the Illinois astronomy department or a related department with a strong interest in astronomical surveys, particularly DES or LSST, is welcome
