COMMUNICATION AND OUTREACH
The European Solar Telescope consortium is engaged in a vigorous communication and outreach program to raise awareness of solar physics and the EST project among the general public and the broader scientific community. To that end, the EST Communication Office is developing a number of activities and materials to explain the importance of a better knowledge of the Sun and of new facilities such as the European Solar Telescope.
In this section you can find a description of these activities, as well as the EST media archive with the images, pictures and videos created by the project. You are free to use these materials for non-commercial purposes, provided you mention the source as follows: “Courtesy European Solar Telescope - EST”.
