SOLARNET aimet at integrating  all pertinent European research institutions, infrastructures, and data repositories in the field of high-resolution solar physics with the aim of:

(i) realise transnational access to all European users;

(ii) integrate small communities and foster European collaboration;

(iii) enhance and spread data acquisition and processing expertise to the Europe-wide community;

(iv) increase the impact of high-resolution data by offering science-ready data and facilitating their retrieval and usage;

(v) encourage combination of space and ground-based data by providing unified access to pertinent data repositories;

(vi) foster synergies between observational and theoretical research communities by organising meetings where each presents state-of-the-art methodologies;

(vii) train a new generation through student schools, a mobility program, and grant program to attend conferences;

(viii) develop innovative post-focus instrumentation;

(ix) develop and build next generation devices to correct for atmospheric turbulence;

(x) lay foundations for combined use of synoptic and high-resolution facilities on ground and in space

(xi) dissemination activities towards society.
