Concluding remarks on QCD-N'02 Workshop at Ferrara

TL;DR

This paper summarizes key developments in QCD studies of the nucleon from the Ferrara workshop and outlines a future roadmap emphasizing new experimental facilities for probing the nucleon's QCD structure.

Contribution

It provides a comprehensive summary of recent progress and sketches a strategic plan for future experimental investigations into the nucleon's QCD properties.

Findings

Identification of important recent developments in QCD nucleon studies

Proposal of a long-term goal to build new lepton-hadron scattering facilities

A strategic Road Map for future experimental research in QCD

Abstract

A summary is given of some important developments in QCD studies of the nucleon as presented at this workshop. Based on these developments some expectations for the short- and long-term future of the field are sketched. Taken together, the summary of the workshop and the future perspectives result in a {\sl Road Map} for experimental studies of the QCD structure of the nucleon. The Road Map includes as a long-term goal the construction of new lepton-hadron scattering facilities both in Europe and the United States.
