Preface

The Italian Solar and Heliospheric Community (SoHe) periodically organizes national conferences: the last two conferences of the series were held in Catania in September 2013, and in Rome in May 2016 at the headquarter of the National Space Agency (ASI). The last meeting was hosted in Turin, on October 28-31, 2018, in the “Aula Magna” of the Turin University in the “Cavallerizza Reale” complex. The purpose of this conference was to provide a forum at the national level for the discussion of the main topics of solar and heliospheric physics, and space weather. The conference strengthened existing collaborations and established new ones, both in the context of projects in which part of the community is involved in (such as the European Solar Telescope - EST, Solar Orbiter, Bepi Colombo, Proba-3, CSES-Limadou space mis- sions, etc.), and beyond. The conference supported the participation of Ph.D. students and young researchers to facilitate their entry into the Italian community.
