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).

The 1st SOLARNET Spring School "Introduction to Solar Physics" and Thematic Workshop "Radiative processes in the Sun and stars" will be organized in Wroclaw, Poland (March 24 - April 4) supported by EC FP7 project SOLARNET.
The school and Workshop are dedicated to PhD students and novel post-doctoral researchers interested in broadening their knowledge on solar physics. The lectures and hands-on sessions will be carried out by experienced scientists and will cover different solar issues:
- Instrumentation for solar observations
- The solar interior and dynamo
- The solar standard model and helioseismology
- Active region formation and evolution
- Introduction to radiative transfer and NLTE line formation
- Solar flares and coronal mass ejections
- Coronal heating
- Physics of solar prominences and radiative transfer
- Solar and stellar activity
- Solar wind
