IN2P3\footnote{Institut National de Physique NuclĂ©aire et de Physique des Particules, French national institute for nuclear and particle physics} was an early contributor to the project, and has secured a significant status as the  only non-American constructor, with contributions to the camera and computing.  Amid the breadth of scientific topics that LSST will cover, LSST-France is committed first  and foremost to the Dark Energy/Dark Matter cosmological probes, through participation to the LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration (DESC). DESC.  Currently eight IN2P3 institutes participate to the LSST  project through the LSST-France group coordinated by Pierre Antilogus: LPNHE, LAL, LPC, LPSC,  CPPM, APC, plus the two service units LMA and CC-IN2P3. The scientific topics investigated within LSST France are the science reach of supernovae, the weak lensing magnification effect, and baryonic baryon  acoustic oscillations.
