Presentation
SOLARNET brings together and integrates the major European research infrastructures in the field of high-resolution solar physics, in order to promote their coordinated use and development. This network involves all pertinent European research institutions, infrastructures, and data repositories. Together, these represent first-class facilities. The additional participation by private companies and non-European research institutions maximizes the impact on the world-wide scale.
Networking activities, access to first-class infrastructures and joint research and development activities are being carried out in SOLARNET to improve, in quantity and quality, the service provided by this European community.
In summary, SOLARNET involves:
More than 500 solar physics researchers.
32 partners from 16 countries: 24 EU research institutions; 6 EU private companies; 2 USA research institutions.
SOLARNET Project achievements will be of paramount relevance to contribute towards the realisation of the 4m European Solar Telescope (EST).

Meetings on Solar Physics: To put in contact different solar physics communities and researchers involved in other fields, aimed at achieving the following goals:
- Periodic meetings on topics related to solar physics and solar – stellar connections, where the participants can show the results of their research and profit from discussion time slots devoted to exchange of experience and competences.
- The fostering of collaborations aimed at improving the interaction between theoreticians, experts in numerical simulations and observers.
- The sharing of pipelines and software for solar data reduction and analysis.
- The consolidation of high-resolution MHD simulations to analyze the performance of advanced instrumentation for high-resolution solar observations.
- Promotion of seismological studies as a way to understand solar/ stellar interiors
These meetings are being also a very appropriate environment for the dissemination of knowledge.
