In addition,the STEREO observations are complemented by a large array of other space observatoriesdistributed in the inner heliosphere: in orbits around Earth (e.g. SDO, Wind), around otherplanets (Venus Express, Messenger), and around L1 (SOHO, ACE).

Fleck et al.of instruments offers an unprecedented opportunity to understand the complex evolution ofthe solar corona and inner heliosphere across both temporal and spatial scales.To discuss these opportunities and pull together the latest research based on the multi-point, multi-view observations of the inner heliosphere and corona, a meeting was heldat the Christian-Albrechts-Universität in Kiel, Germany on 25 – 29 July 2011. The “Sun360” meeting was a combination of the highly successful STEREO and SOHO Workshopswith the international SDO Workshops forming a STEREO/SDO/SOHO Workshop. Thecombined workshop focused on the continuing scientific achievements of these missions inthe broader context of understanding the Sun and its structuring of the inner heliosphere in360°.The resulting Topical Issue that follows this preface contains a wealth of insights span-ning the full range of heliophysics research. The articles in this issue reveal the somewhatsurprising longitudinal extent of SEP events, demonstrate our improved ability to connectCMEs with their interplanetary counterparts and solar wind to its source regions, and presentdetailed 3D studies ranging from EUV loop reconstructions to the evolution of prominences,and studies of the heliospheric current sheet to the association of CMEs to their source re-gions. Other articles deal with flare analysis, loop oscillations, and the newly emerging fieldof interplanetary nanodust detection. The workshop also included a number of reviews on4π models of CME and ICMEs, on the nature of EUV waves, and solar-cycle predictions.Fortunately, the 360° coverage of the corona and inner heliosphere is not a one-off oc-currence. Thanks to the continuing operations of Earth-side observatories such as SOHOand SDO with similar instrumentation to STEREO’s, the global coverage of the Sun canpotentially continue until 2019. This will allow us to study the evolution of the heliosphereand corona through the solar maximum and towards the solar minimum, further increas-ing our understanding of this complex system that plays such an important role in drivingspace weather at Earth and other planets. We are looking forward to many more results andsuccessful workshops similar to “The Sun 360”.Acknowledgements We wish to thank ESA, NASA, and DFG (under grant number HE 3279/14-1) forproviding financial support and the Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel and the IEAP–ExtraterrestrischePhysik, in particular for hosting the meeting and providing technical and logistical support.
