DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Leo Girardi (INAF - Osservatorio Astroniomico di Pad
 ova)\, Giada Pastorelli (Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica (INAF))\, Simon
 e Zaggia (Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica (INAF))\n\nThe Vera C. Rubin O
 bservatory’s Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) will carry out a dec
 ade-long survey of the southern sky. Following its first light in July 202
 5\, the survey will begin issuing millions of transient and variable alert
 s each night within 60 seconds of observation starting in 2026. In summer 
 2026\, the release of Data Preview 2 (DP2) will provide the first substant
 ial set of representative data products\, and in 2027 the first multi-peta
 byte data release (DR1) will follow\, with subsequent releases issued annu
 ally.\nSince 2021\, several national teams in Eastern Europe (Croatia\, Sl
 ovenia\, Hungary\, Serbia) have organized annual LSST Regional Workshops t
 o strengthen collaborations\, exchange expertise\, and prepare for LSST da
 ta exploitation.\nThe Padova–Trieste group\, which has participated sinc
 e 2022 and built strong scientific links within this regional community\, 
 will host the 5th LSST Regional Workshop 2026 at the Institute for Fundame
 ntal Physics of the Universe (IFPU)\, located at Miramare in Trieste\, It
 aly.\nThe scientific discussions will span all areas that depend on deep a
 nd wide time-series photometry\, going from solar system small bodies to c
 osmological constraints derived from supernova and weak lensing.   \nThe
  workshop will follow the same flexible\, interactive format as previous e
 ditions to prioritize open discussion. We begin Monday (Aug 31) early afte
 rnoon and conclude by Thursday (Sept 3) at lunch. Optional hands-on sessio
 ns and working groups will follow on Thursday afternoon and Friday morning
  for those interested in collaborative work. The final agenda will be shap
 ed by your input and contributions\; for now\, we kindly ask you to regist
 er and review the logistics information to help us plan the workshop.\nThe
  workshop is supported by:\n\n\nhttps://indico.ict.inaf.it/event/3481/
