The increasing demand in precision of theoretical predictions in one of the characteristics of the era of Run-2 at the LHC. In this context improvements in the understanding of the strong interactions play a special role since they are important for all measurements that can be carried out, regardless whether they are dealing with New Physics effects or Standard Model dynamics. Frequently, new achievements in a number of different areas are required to get most out of the possible measurements. This poses new challenges for already existing methods and computations or concerning the development of novel approaches, covering topics such as Monte-Carlo event generators, the calculation of short-distance amplitudes at higher order, the understanding of singular regions and non-perturbative effects, the effects of finite particle masses, as well as jets, multi-parton interactions or the structure of QCD predictions in the context of jet algorithms or studies of jet substructure.
The intention of the workshop is to have an "Aspen"-type meeting with physicists having a strong theoretical interests in both conceptual and phenomenological aspects of high-energy QCD and jets. Each participant will be provided an office space and there will be (only!) a few talks that are intended to generate discussion given by selected participants during each week. The emphasis is on having informal discussions with other participants and on getting some stimulating work done by getting together.
Participation is by invitation only.
It is the main intention of the workshop to offer and create opportunities that allow the participants to work and discuss with each other on issues and topics they are interested in. We therefore do not plan to have a loaded conference-like program with many pre-scheduled talks. At the ESI there are plenty of walls with blackboards and two seminar rooms as locations for informal interactions and the participants are free to initiate interactions on any subject they are interested in.
Each week there will be a few scheduled presentations on selected topics everyone is invited to attend . These should initiate discussions and might be blackboard talks to facilitate interactions.
If a group of participants wish to discuss an issue or even organise a presentation that they think is of interest for others they are free to initiate a meeting or seminar.
All meetings and discussions (informal or official) might be open for everyone

The Erwin Schrödinger International Institute for Mathematics and Physics (ESI) is located next to the Faculty of physics of the University of Vienna and aims at stimulating creative interactions between scientists interested in physics and mathematics. The ESI provides office space, large areas for discussions, rooms for talks and seminars and also financial support coming from the University of Vienna. The ESI is in the heart of the city of Vienna which is one of the best places to enjoy life.
