The Rubin Observatory/LSST Science Collaborations (SCs) are independent, worldwide communities of scientists, self-organized into collaborations based on their research interests and expertise.  The SCs were formed prior to 2008 to help develop the science case for Rubin Observatory (encapsulated in the LSST Science Book) and advise on the design of the LSST survey.
