The interplay between theory and experimental efforts is crucial for the advancement of our understanding of the strong interaction and its complex spectrum of bound states. The scientific discourse of the field is not only driven by the search for new methodologies, but also by the quest for the most useful paradigms and degrees of freedom to describe the world of quarks. It is often characterized by debates on seemingly disparate concepts of the nature of hadrons. Subatomic molecules or compact multiquark systems can all explain part of the phenomena observed, but a unifying picture seems elusive. The four speakers of this symposium will engage in a panel discussion and bring this debate to the audience, to share the intrigue around those fascinating quantum systems and discuss avenues into future research of the most mysterious of the fundamental interactions.
