The 14th European Solar Physics Meeting (ESPM -14; http://www.espm14.ie) was held in Trinity College Dublin, Ireland from 8th to 12th September 2014. The ESPM conference series is organized every three years by the European Solar Physics Division (ESPD) and aims to highlight all aspects of modern solar physics research, including activities in both observation and theory that span from the interior of the Sun out into the wider heliosphere.

ESPM-14 played host to 240 scientists (~1/4 of which were PhD students) who presented more than 180 posters, 68 contributed talks and 23 invited reviews. The internationally inclusive nature of ESPM-14 was clearly demonstrated by the participation of colleagues from countries outside Europe, including Australia, Brazil, India, Japan, Mexico, Republic of (South) Korea and the United States of America. Thanks to the SCOSTEP/VarSITI program, ESPM-14 provided financial support to 2 registered PhD students and 3 junior postdoctoral researchers from developing countries.
