The International Centre for Theoretical Physics, in collaboration with the Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics (I. N. F. N.), will organize the Conference on

PERSPECTIVES IN HADRONIC PHYSICS
Miramare - Trieste, Italy
12 - 16 May 1997

The Conference follows the previous seven Workshops on Perspectives in Nuclear Physics at Intermediate Energies jointly organized every two years, starting from 1983 to 1995, by ICTP and the Italian Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN). It will focus on theoretical and experimental activities in the investigation of nucleon and nuclear structure by electromagnetic and hadronic probes at intermediate and high energies. Its aim is to review recent advances and to explore future trends in the following items:

It will consist of invited talks followed by discussion sessions and working groups. Proceedings will be published.
