This talk will introduce the project of the European Solar Telescope (EST),
considered a key European research infrastructure, and its role in advancing solar physics.
We'll discuss the relevant solar phenomena — like magnetic field interactions and solar
eruptions — that create space weather and solar storms on Earth. Their study requires
high-resolution, multi-layer observation. The EST, with its 4.2-meter Gregorian design and
adaptive optics system will provide unprecedented data in magnetic field measurements
and observations across a broad spectral range. These capabilities are set to transform our
understanding of solar activity by enabling detailed studies of solar magnetic fields and
plasma dynamics.
