Description
An array of high-priority HEP measurements are increasingly limited by the
precision of nucleon and nuclear parton distribution functions (PDFs) and
related quantities. Curiously, as the accuracy of perturbative QCD
calculations steadily improves, there is a growing need for parallel
enhancements to control a variety of nonperturbative QCD, electroweak, and
methodological effects in global PDF fits. In this talk, I will highlight a
number of recent cross-cutting developments in these areas spanning nucleon
and nuclear PDFs; I will also emphasize the potential for a combination of
future data from the LHC and EIC to drive further theory developments for
hadron structure.
