Brief Overview
--------------------
This BARYONS conference will be the latest in a series of successful conferences, which started in 1970 at Duke University, and takes place every three years. The scope of the conference is to bring together theoretical and experimental experts on all areas of physics relevant to baryon spectroscopy, nucleon structure, and related aspects of hadron dynamics.

The conference will highlight the physics of baryons and related subjects in particle, nuclear and astrophysics. The main issues to be discussed are our understanding of the structure and reactions of baryons from the fundamental theory of the strong interaction, Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). In particular, the highly non-perturbative phenomena of quark confinement, mass generation and spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry will be addressed.

Recent developments of new and forthcoming facilities in the world will also be showcased. We strongly encourage the participation of young scientists, including students and postdocs.

Main Topics Include:
-----------------------------
* Spectroscopy of Light / Heavy Flavor Hadrons
Resonances, Exotic Hadrons
* Structure of Hadrons
Form Factors, Structure Functions, etc.
* Recent Approaches to Non-Perturbative QCD
AdS/CFT Correspondence, Lattice Gauge Theory, Effective Field Theories
* Hadrons at Finite Density and Temperature
The QCD Vacuum, Chiral Symmetry, Hadron Properties, etc.
* Electromagnetic and Weak Interactions
Photo- and electro-production of hadrons, P- and CP-violating processes in nucleons and nuclei
* New Facilities and Instrumentation
