The RIKEN Symposium on Spin Structure of the Nucleon will be held at 
Nishina Hall, RIKEN, from December 18 to 19, 1995. The symposium covers 
current topics of the polarized nucleon structure functions and related 
subjects, and physics beyond the standard model. The fields of hadron/nuclear 
and particle physics from GeV to TeV energy region are included. Recent 
activities and development on the RHIC spin project, which utilizes the 
RHIC as a polarized proton-proton collider at 50<root(s)<500 GeV, are also 
included. 
 
The symposium will consist of about fifteen invited talks/lectures presented 
by leading physicists in the field and short oral presentations. We expect 
a hot discussion after each presentation of invited  speaker. Participants
should feel free to show a few viewgraphs during the discussion time if 
needed.
