This is the first circular of the 9th Biennial Workshop of the APS <br>
Topical Group on Hadronic Physics (GHP2021) which will be held virtually <br>
April 13-16, 2021. The workshop immediately precedes the APS April <br>
Meeting 2021 which is also virtual.<br>
<br>
The workshop website can be found at:<br>

<br>
To assist in meeting organization we invite all those interested to <br>
register at the workshop website. There will be a registration fee for <br>
the workshop and this will be announced once we know the costs of the <br>
virtual platform.<br>
<br>
The workshop will consist of plenary talks and invited/contributed <br>
parallel talks. We anticipate that all parallel talks will be 20+5 mins. <br>
If there is sufficient interest we will also hold a virtual poster session.<br>
<br>
Abstract submission is now open on the website with a deadline of 15 <br>
January 2021.<br>
<br>
The GHP workshop provides a great opportunity for nuclear and particle <br>
physicists to share their research and common interests in hadronic <br>
physics. We are hoping for your attendance and participation, and that <br>
you will also encourage your students and postdocs to take part.<br>
<br>
The topics of the workshop include:<br>
<br>
Electroweak probes<br>
Extreme matter and neutron star collisions<br>
Hadrons in nuclei<br>
Hadron spectroscopy<br>
Hadron tomography and hadronization<br>
Heavy flavor and jet production<br>
Neutrino-hadron interactions<br>
New physics and discrete symmetry violation in hadron physics<br>
Nonequilibrium dynamics<br>
Nucleon and nuclear spin physics<br>
Origin of hadron mass<br>
Physics of the quark-gluon plasma<br>
Quantum information for hadron physics<br>
Small systems and collectivity<br>
Transverse and longitudinal structure of hadrons<br>
Ultraperipheral Collisions<br>
<br>
Please mark your calendars. We hope to see many of you at this virtual <br>
GHP2021 workshop.<br>
