The main tools are effective field theories for hadron and nuclei, as well as nuclear lattice effective field theory, which combines EFT and stochastic simulation methods. The workshop brings together researchers in the field of NLEFT as well as number of renowned nuclear theorists using different methods. The workshop will be centered above the aforementioned topics, featuring recent developments in the areas of methods, algorithms and physics results. It should serve as an intermediate review of the EXOTIC program after two years of funding and is intended to lay out the work to be done in the coming three years.
