Description

I will present the studies on variability detection of AGNs based on the VST surveys of the CDFS and COSMOS region, that are compatible in depth to the expectations from LSST. I will discuss the completeness and contamination of variability-selected samples in order to characterise the AGN population and understand the selection biases with respect to optical/infrared/X-ray selection methods.
