The presentations given at this Symposium have made clear that we are witnessing an exciting period in the study of solar activity, and in the ancillary study of magnetic field dynamics in solar-type stars: the new space observations obtained within the past four years, together with the renaissance in ground-based observations, have occasioned a burgeoning in our phenomenological understanding of stellar activity in its manifold facets, and have encouraged a substantially greater interest in the problem of magnetically-coupled activity in stars by the theoreticians. This excitement must not distract us from the realization that in this branch of our science, much of the impetus towards new research has come, and very likely will continue to come, from observations; with this fact in mind, I would like to address the possible evolution of our experimental science in response to the new observational and theoretical results.
