Board of reviewers 

A board of more than 30 scientists from INAF, Italian universities and foreign research institutes are serving the VST Centre to evaluate the science case and goals of the submitted proposals for the observing time at VST. 

They cover a wide range of research topics, such as planetary systems, stars and galaxies, cluster of galaxies and cosmology. They are in charge for at least two years. 

The VST Centre plans to open a call for joining this board once per year. However, a scientist might ask to join the board at any time during the year by filling the form at this link: forms.gle/SCYHVpNCBqxniDtE9
