In 1969 European solar physists formed the Joint Organization for Solar Observation (JOSO). The goals of JOSO were to find an, ideal site for a large solar instrument, and to create an observatory on this site equipped with a solar telescope for high spatial resolution and polarimetric observations. This instrument is referred to by the acronym LEST which stands for Large European Solar Telescope.
