      The European Solar Telescope (EST) has successfully completed the Conceptual Design Review (CoDR) of its Scientific Instrument Suite (SIS). The scientific objectives of EST focus on examining magnetic coupling in the solar atmosphere from the deepest layers of the photosphere to the highest layers of the chromosphere. This will enable the thermal, dynamic and magnetic properties of solar plasma to be studied with high spatial and temporal resolution. These objectives are defined by the Science Advisory Group (SAG), an international group of experts responsible for establishing the scientific
