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).

SOLARNET Meetings on Solar Physics
The aim of these meetings is to put in contact different solar physics communities and researchers involved in other fields.
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 will be also a very appropriate environment for the dissemination of knowledge.
SOLARNET Schools and Workshops
Under the WP30.3 "Training of the new generation of scientists", these training schools and thematic workshops foresee:
- The organization of summer/winter schools for PhD students and novel post-doc researchers on topics related to the development of new instrumentation for solar observations, diagnostic tools, hot solar research topics and fields of mutual interest for solar and stellar physicists
- The organization of thematic workshops matched with the training schools (i.e., immediately after or in splinter sessions)
The schools/workshops will be devoted to the following themes:
1. Introduction to solar physics/Radiative processes in the Sun and the stars (Poland, UWR)
2. Ground and space based instruments/Methods in high resolution and synoptic solar physics (Slovakia,
AISAS)
3. Solar magnetic fields: modeling and measuring techniques/Polarization as a tool to study the Sun, the
Solar System, and beyond (Spain, IAA-CSIC)
4. MHD waves and oscillations in the solar atmosphere/Heating mechanisms in the solar atmosphere (United Kingdom, QUB)
5. Solar MHD and magnetic reconnection theory/Solar eruptive events: observations and modelling (United Kingdom, MSSL/UCL)
