EST (European Solar Telescope) is a pan-European project involving 29 partners from 9 different countries (14 scientific institutions and 15 industries). It aims at the realization of a 4-m class solar telescope, with spectropolarimetric and imaging instruments characterized by high spatial and temporal resolution and observing in the wavelength range UV-NIR. EST is aimed at answering to a number of questions made by the international scientific community: determine the mechanisms responsible for the interaction between magnetic fields and plasma, single out the physical processes at the basis of energy transport in the solar atmospheric layers, acquire the capability of predicting phenomena that might directly or indirectly affect the Earth, etc. At present the project is in the Design Phase Study, financed by the European Union in the framework of FP7 - Research Infrastructures....
