*Overview of hadron structure from Lattice QCD*

Understanding hadron structure from first principles is considered a 
milestone of hadron physics and numerous experiments have been devoted 
to its study, starting with the measurements of the electromagnetic form 
factors more than 50 years ago. Lattice QCD (LQCD) is a powerful 
approach for the ab inition calculation of hadron observables.
Emerging results form LQCD are providing input to phenomenology, as well 
as, to Physics beyond the Standard Model. This is due to the impressive 
progress in the simulation of LQCD mainly due to improvements in the 
algorithms, development of new techniques and increase in computational 
power, that have enabled simulations to be carried out at parameters 
very close to their physical values. In this talk we will review results 
obtained with simulations at or near to the physical value of the pion 
mass, such as he nucleon axial charge and the first moments parton 
distributions, for both the valence and sea quark contributions, and 
discuss their implications on the spin content of the nucleon. Selected 
results on the electromagnetic form factors and radii, the quark content 
of the nucleon and on the neutron electric dipole moment are also 
discussed.
