The present proposal is intended to take the European Solar Telescope (EST) to the next level of development by undertaking crucial activities to improve the performance of current state-of-the-art instrumentation. Legal, industrial and socio-economic issues will also be addressed, as key questions for the attainment of EST. The particular

Extrapolation of the current known black hole (BH) transients (only 17 confirmed after decades monitoring the X-ray sky), together with Population Synthesis studies, suggest the Milky Way contains ~10^4 quiescent BH binaries. However, the full extent of this population is extremely uncertain, yet it is critical for understanding close binary

Starsbursts play a key role in the cosmic evolution of galaxies. There is an intimate link between the average star formation (SF) rate history of the universe and galaxy mass and metal content. This fact, together with the prevalence of the extreme SF conditions in the primeval galaxy population, tells us that the starburst phenomenon constitutes
