The QCD Evolution workshop is a leading hadron physics meeting with a focus on hadron tomography. A main objective  is to provide a forum to discuss the recent scientific accomplishments in areas such as transverse momentum distributions, generalized parton distributions, and small-x physics, together wth advances in perturbative and non-perturbative techniques within quantum chromodynamics.

The workshop also aims to support and guide the physics programs at facilities such as Jefferson Lab, the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory, Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, and the Large Hadron Collider complex at CERN. The workshop is also central to the planning for the next-generation nuclear physics facility in the United States, the Electron Ion Collider.
