Abstract

We review observational evidence and open issues related to the process of magnetospheric accretion in T Tauri stars. Emphasis is put on recent numerical simulations and observational results which suggest that the interaction between the stellar magnetosphere and the inner accretion disk is a highly time dependent process on timescales ranging from hours to months.
