  Nuclear and lattice physicists share several topics of common interest, like
hadronic masses, electroweak form factors and structure functions of hadrons.
The main physics issues that a new collaboration between a nuclear physicist
and the lattice group of the SPQcdR collaboration is going to address, are
summarized and preliminary results obtained for meson and baryon masses are
presented. The importance of adopting non-perturbative approaches based on the
fundamental theory of the strong interaction, like lattice formulations of QCD,
is stressed.
