Abstract

The working group on Spin Physics at the XXIV International Workshop on Deep-Inelastic Scattering and Related Subjects (DIS2016) witnessed a significant progress in the theoretical and experimental investigations aiming at unveiling the innermost structure of the proton. Results ranged from proton's one-dimensional representation to its multi-dimensional imaging. In this contribution, we summarize a selection of the topics discussed and of the results presented. For details, we refer to the individual contributions collected in the proceedings of this workshop.
