Aim of the meeting:

The magnetic activity observed on the Sun and other Solar-type stars is driven
by internal dynamo processes. In the case of the Sun, the magnetic field
regenerates itself on an 11 year timescale but the recent results of the
long-term monitoring of other Solar-type stars suggests surprising cyclic
behaviour compared to the Sun. Within this splinter we aim stimulate
discussions between the stellar and solar community.
Key points are the physical understanding of solar and stellar cycles,
eruptive phenomena like flares, mass ejections, solar and stellar winds
and energetic particles.
What have we learned so far from measurements and modelling? What
similarities and which difference are known for solar and stellar
magnetic activity? Naturally the Sun allows in situ and more detailed
remote measurements with a high spatial and temporal resolution while
the stellar observations cover a large range of stellar mass
and rotation rates.
