The KEK theory center workshop on Hadron and Nuclear Physics in 2017
will be held from January 7 to January 10, 2017 at Kobayashi Hall, KEK, 
Tsukuba, Japan. This workshop is intended to discuss recent progress 
on hadron physics. Anticipated topics are listed in the following 
"Discussion topics"; however, any interesting new ideas are welcome from
both theorists and experimentalists. We will announce speakers in future
circulars and workshop web page. We welcome international participants
and experimentalists.

We are looking forward to seeing you at the workshop.
