Constraining Stellar Evolution Models with Observations

1D stellar evolution relies on several free parameters that need to be calibrated. Also many aspects of the physics implemented in the codes come from prescriptions that exist in several flavours. The choice of one or another is not straightforward. Observations are highly needed to discriminate between prescriptions or to calibrate precisely the free parameters.
