The European Solar Telescope (EST) aims to significantly improve our capabilities to observe the solar chromosphere and understanding the solar chromosphere represents one of the most challenging tasks in solar physics. EST incorporates the most innovative technology, with a simple and efficient design, and the most advanced instrumentation to

To deepen our knowledge of the early history of the Milky Way, it is of particular interest to investigate the orbital and chemical properties of the most metal-poor stars, which are commonly associated with the oldest stars in our Universe. With the advent of astrometric (Gaia), spectroscopic (APOGEE, GALAH, LAMOST, Gaia-RVS), and photometric

Recent studies show that in Europe we are losing women's talent in some key disciplines for the future, particularly those directly related to astronomy. In order to get more girls and young women interested in the so-called STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) fields, it is necessary to change the highly entrenched stereotypes
