Abstract
A project of collaboration between Kiepenheuer Institut für Sonnenphysik, KIS, and Istituto Ricerche Solari Locarno, IRSOL, includes the installation of a ZIMPOL_3 high resolution polarimeter at the 1.5 meter aperture solar telescope GREGOR in Tenerife. Important scientific topics are expected to be investigated, in particular in the case of events showing faint amplitude polarization signatures like scattering polarization effects, and the Hanle effect. This project has also a technical importance, this combination can be used as test bench for future polarimeters to be installed on the new generation solar telescopes.
