The "International Workshop on QCD Exotics" will be held in Jinan, China, on 8-12 June, 2015. This meeting will be hosted by Shandong University and jointly organized by the Institute of High Energy Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences and Shangdong University. Purpose of the workshop: There has been a lot of progress in the experimental and theoretical study of the quarkonium and quarkonium-like XYZ states. In particular, various physical pictures were confronted with the recent observations. However, so far there has not been a single state for which the mission to identify the nature is fully accomplished. The purpose of the workshop is to bring together theoreticians and experimentalists to discuss what is necessary from the theoretical side to disentangle the different scenarios proposed as well as what is feasible experimentally in this respect in the foreseeable future.
