Small Synoptic Second Solar Spectrum Telescope (S5T)

A compact instrument for daily observations of the scattering polarization on the Sun

Solar Dynamics Observatory Atmospheric Imaging Assembly

The Atmospheric Imaging Assembly will image the solar atmosphere in multiple wavelengths to link changes in the surface to interior changes. Data will include images of the Sun in 10 wavelengths every 10 seconds.

Sunrise - A Balloon-borne Solar Telescope

Sunrise will study the solar atmosphere on the intrinsic spatial scale of its magnetic structure with its 1-m telescope and imaging and spectro-polarimetric instruments

Solaire Research Training Network

SOLAIRE is a Research Training Network financed by the European Commission. It consists of 12 European Universities and Research Institutes and a private R&D company. The SOLAIRE network carries out research in solar and interplanetary physics and provides training of researchers at the initial stages of their careers.

A prototype for the S5T that paved the way by demonstrating the theta-cell approach to transfer radially symmetric polarization into linear polarization.

Utrecht-Stockholm-Oslo Graduate School in Solar Physics

The USO-SP International Graduate School for Solar Physics is a cooperation between the Netherlands Utrecht University, Sterrekundig Instituut; Sweden, The Institute for Solar Physics of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences; and Norway, University of Oslo, Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics. The School is supported by the European Commission as an FP6 Marie Curie Action Early Stage Research Training programme.

Dutch Open Telescope

The Dutch Open Telescope (DOT) is an innovative solar telescope of Utrecht University located at the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos of the Instituto de Astrofïsica de Canarias on La Palma, Canary Islands. It achieves high-resolution imaging of the sun simultaneously in multiple wavelengths.
