Hadron Spectroscopy (present status and prospects)

Hadron spectroscopy is one of the keys for exploration of QCD at non-perturbative scale.

In the last years many states inconsistent with conventional meson/baryon states have been discovered leading to a renaissance of the field.

In the talk a present status of the field with an emphasize on the latest results will be summarized. In addition, prospects for the future studies will be discussed.
