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 3rd SOLARNET Workshop “Polarization in the Sun, the Solar System, and Beyond” has been started today in Granada (Spain). This four days even (25-28 May 2015) is organized by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC) under the auspices of SOLARNET.
The goal of this workshop is to present the latest advances in astronomical polarimetry and spectropolarimetry, with a focus on the sun, solar system bodies, stars, and exoplanets, and also to bring together the different communities and fostering collaborations between them.
In order to provide a detailed account of the latest developments in these areas -including instrumentation, measurement techniques, data analysis and interpretation- the following sessions have been scheduled: Instrumentation (ground, space, laboratory)
- Diagnostics and Interpretation
- Solar Photosphere
- Solar Chromosphere, Transition Region, and Corona
- Polarization in the Solar System and Exoplanetary Systems
- Stellar Magnetic Fields
The workshop is being carried out right after the 3rd SOLARNET School on “Solar Magnetic Fields: Modeling and Measuring Techniques," which also took place the last week in Granada, Spain.
