This proceedings contains a collection of papers presented at the International Symposium on Hadrons and Nuclei. Among many specific subjects in this field we chose to discuss (I) interactions of mesons with nucleons and nuclei, (ii) electromagnetic probes of nucleons and nuclei, (iii) strangeness in nuclear physics, (iv) hadrons in nuclear matter, and (v) lattice QCD and other related topics. Studies of the nucleon-nucleon interactions are extended nowadays to antinucleons, and new experimental and theoretical investigations are presented. Interaction of pions with nucleons, pionic atoms, and aspects of chiral symmetry are discussed by several authors. The structure of nucleons are discussed in different approaches from QCD to effective theories. Strangeness degrees of freedom in nucleons and nuclei are covered by several authors along with interactions among hyperons and nucleons. Relativistic heavy-ion collisions are one of the hot topics in nuclear and particle physics. New experimental observations and theoretical works are discussed. Several calculations based on Lattice QCD are presented. New exciting discoveries at several experimental facilities such as Spring-8 and KEK in Japan, HERA and SIS in Germany, and CEBAF and RHIC in the US are presented.
