| Abstract: |
Wrapping up this highly successful and pleasant SPW8 meeting, we first
look back briefly over the four decades of the eminent career of Egidio
Landi Degl'Innocenti and see how the subject area of “Solar
Polarization” has evolved to give rise to a vibrant scientific
community. We then look ahead and identify two new directions, which
have been seriously neglected in the past but are judged to have great future
potential: (1) Laboratory experiments for polarized scattering, to
guide the further development and understanding of the theoretical
foundations, and (2) spectro-polarimetry from space below the visible
spectral range, to explore the role of the magnetic fields for the
physics of the outer atmosphere of the Sun. |
