This is the second circular for the <b>5th International Workshop on Nucleon Structure at Large Bjorken
</b><i><b>x </b></i><b>(HiX2019)</b>, which will take place in Kolympari, on the Island of Crete, Greece, on August 16-21, 2019. Kolympari is close to the city of Chania and its international airport. The venue will be the Orthodox Academy of Crete. This
meeting will continue a series of workshops held previously in Philadelphia, USA (2000), Marseille, France (2004), Newport News, USA (2010), and Frascati, Italy (2014).<br>

While a tremendous amount of knowledge about the quark and gluon structure of the nucleon and nuclei has been accumulated in the four decades since the development of Quantum Chromodynamics, significant gaps remain, particularly in the valence quark region
where the parton momentum fraction <i>x </i>is large. With the expectation of new data from the Jefferson Lab 12 GeV Science Program, as well as from collider and neutrino experiments, it is timely to review advances in our understanding of nucleon structure
at high <i>x </i>and assess the possible impact of the new data. The workshop will discuss new theoretical ideas and suggestions for additional studies at present and future facilities, along with implications for related fields.<br>

A program consisting of invited and contributed talks, and of posters, is being formed based on suggestions by the International Advisory Committee (IAC)* of the Workshop and through submissions of abstracts. The deadline for submission of abstracts is provided
on the above web site. Also provided on the web site is preliminary essential information on travel and lodging.<br>
