One of the most
outstanding problems in theoretical physics, and a central problem in
nuclear physics, is to understand how nuclear forces emerge from QCD.
The lattice formulation of QCD is the place where those phenomena can be
studied from first principles, with Effective Field
Theories, EFTs, as a guideline. Recent developments in effective
theories and lattice QCD make us believe that now is the moment for a
renewed attack on this classic problem. The aim of this workshop is to
stimulate a constructive interaction among lattice QCD and nuclear EFTs
expertise, and to motivate discussions on the formulation of
baryon-baryon interactions as derived from QCD. The theme of our
workshop is therefore Lattice Nuclear Physics, which is Lattice QCD with
an obvious connection to the effective field theory description of
nuclear forces.
