Attendees at the 2023 UK Solar Instrumentation and Facilities Forum agreed that the community should consider and share future mission and project ideas in order to try to identify future UK priorities and strategies for the solar community. Individuals are asked to submit brief project concepts. These can range from project ideas to well-established projects that are nearing a formal proposal.
The submissions will be used to create a database of solar technology, instrument, and mission ideas that will be maintained by the UKSP Council and shared with the community and STFC Solar System Advisory Panel. The information will also be used when organising the yearly UK Solar Instrumentation and Facilities Forum.
The database can also be used to share collaborative science ideas, especially those suitable for the new
STFC large awards. We hope this will encourage collaboration in our community and help to form ideas for large and successful solar projects.
