The aim of the school is to provide an overview of the present status and progress in hadron structure and dynamics, as well as a preview of the forthcoming investigations.

It will cover lectures on both experimental and theoretical aspects, including in particular the presentation of new results.

The main topics of the school are:

• Effective Field Theories of QCD (Introduction to non relativistic EFTs (HQET, NRQCD, pNRQCD) and chiral effective field theory. Quark-gluon plasma, heavy-ion collisions, thermal field theory, effective field theories at finite temperature)
• Analysis tools for hadron physics (Cross sections, Dalitz plot, helicity formalisms, S-Matrix constraints, reaction amplitude parametrization, hands-on with simulated data)
• Hadron physics experiments (Experimental Methods in Hadron Spectroscopy. Light Mesons with open and hidden strangeness. Mesons spin and parity determination procedure. Baryon spectroscopy in the light sector. Photo and electro-production of mesons on nucleon targets. Polarization observables and complete reactions. Experimental and statistical methods for data analysis. Applications to data: polarization observable and cross section extraction)
