Observationally the study of solar flares has reached the stage where intensity-time distributions of emission over broad and resolved regions of the electromagnetic spectrum are obtained for spatially resolved parts of the flare. Polarization measurements add an important diagnostic tool in some wavebands but we shall not report on these here. In the optical band good ground based observations have been available for many years, whereas in the UV, soft X-ray and hard X-ray (> 5 keV) bands recent spacecraft have greatly extended the data base. Good high resolution maps are being made in the microwave region with the ground based VIA. We are now at the point where significant progress into understanding the flare problem has been made, and will continue to be made, during the current solar maximum. This coincides with the development of soft X-ray instruments sensitive enough to detect transient and quiescent emission from flare stars, particularly red dwarfs in the solar neighbourhood (e.g. Kahn et al,1979, Haisch et al, 1980) which previously had only been detected in the optical and radio wavebands.
