Overview

Founded in 1993 by Jean Tran Thanh Van, the association Rencontres du Vietnam, a non-profit organization and an official partner of UNESCO, has as its objective the promotion of international exchanges between Vietnam and the international community, particularly in the areas of science and education. It also aims at the encouragement and integration of Vietnamese scientists into the international scientific community and at supporting the role of education and science by encouraging scientific awareness and stimulating passion for science in the younger generation. The Rencontres du Vietnam lies within the scope of two series of scientific meetings created by Jean Tran Thanh Van: the Rencontres de Moriond in 1966 and the Rencontres de Blois in 1989.

The creation of the International Centre for Interdisciplinary Science Education (ICISE) in the city of Quy Nhon (Central Vietnam) has the ambitious objective to focus on developing Science and Education by fostering exchanges between Asia-Pacific scientists and colleagues from other parts of the world.

XVth Rencontres du Vietnam
Perspectives in Hadron Physics

September 22nd – 28th, 2019, Quy Nhon, Vietnam

In recent years, a new impulse has been given to the physics of hadrons, thanks to new results and striking discoveries coming from photo- or electro-production experiments at Jlab, Mainz, Bonn, Grenoble, …, hadron facilities such as COSY (Juelich) and J-PARC (Japan), heavy quark physics at charm and beauty factories such as CLEOc, BESIII, Babar, Belle, as well as hadron colliders at Fermilab and CERN. More results are expected to come from the upgrade of some of the above experiments or from new facilities. On the theory side, a dramatic progress has been made possible by the development of lattice simulations, sum rules, and various kinds of effective theories. The meeting is aimed to convey experimentalists and theorists to discuss the underlying physics.
