Brief description

The aim of this conference is to review the status and progress in hadron spectroscopy and related aspects of hadron physics. This series of biennial conferences started in 1985 at Maryland, USA. The XV International Conference on Hadron Spectroscopy (Hadron 2013) is held from November 4th to November 8th 2013 in Nara, Japan.


The conference place in Nara during November is the best combination to enjoy the color of autumn in Japan together with numerous historical places in this ancient city. One can also easily extend the trip to the surrounding famous cities of Kyoto, Osaka and Kobe in the same Kaisai area.
