The photometric timing of eclipses of eclipsing binary stars opens
an opportunity for detecting circumbinary planets. There
have recently been a few claims of circumbinary planets discovered
via eclipse timing around active very short period binary stars.
These "detections" are doubtful, at best. This field is
however going to evolve significant in the near future. We were
granted 2.6 million USD to establish a network of at least four
robotic 0.5-m telescopes on three continents (Australia, Africa
and South America) dedicated to the timing search for circumbinary
planets. The project is named SOLARIS. We will discuss its
scientific goals and technical aspects.
