Abstract

These are the proceedings of the workshop on "Strong interactions: From methods to structures" held at the Physikzentrum Bad Honnef of the Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft, Bad Honnef, Germany from February 12 to 16, 2011. The workshop concentrated on physics of cold atoms, chiral perturbation theory for mesons and baryons, chiral dynamics in few-baryon systems and effective field theories for systems with heavy quarks. Included are a short contribution per talk.
