==============================<wbr>=========<br>
<br>
We would like to invite you to participate in the 8th
International Conference on Quarks and Nuclear Physics. It
will be held in Tsukuba, Japan on November 13-17, 2018. This
conference follows the series of meetings previously held in
Adelaide, Julich, Bloomington, Madrid, Beijing, Palaiseau,
and Valparaiso. Experimentalists and theorists will discuss
recent developments in the field of hadron and nuclear
physics, and the following topics will be covered.<br>
* Quark and gluon structure of hadrons:<br>
* Hadron spectroscopy:<br>
* Hadron interactions and nuclear structure:<br>
* Hot and cold dense matter:<br>
In addition to plenary sessions, parallel sessions will be
organized in the above topics. A poster session will be also
arranged. Young postdocs and students are especially
welcome. Updated information will be announced on the
conference web.<br>
<br>
In this second circular, we provide information on<br>
(1) submission of your abstract to the parallel session
and poster session,<br>
(2) registration,<br>
(3) hotels in the Tsukuba city.<br>
<br>
Please send your abstract by June 30, 2018, and the deadline
for the early registration is on August 17, 2018. We
recommend you to make the hotel reservation in advance
because November is a travel season in Japan. If you have a
question, please do not hesitate to ask us. We are looking
forward to seeing you in Tsukuba in 2018.<br>
