Despite the successes of the Standard M odel of particle physics\, it remains a challenge to understand the dynami cs of the strong interaction among the building blocks of hadronic matter\ , namely quarks and gluons. At small distance scales or at high energies\, the underlying theory\, the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD)\, is well tested and understood. Our understanding of the strong interaction deteriorates dramatically at larger distances scales such as the size of the nucleon. T his so-called "\;strong QCD regime&rdquo\; exhibits spectacular effect s such as the generation of hadron masses and color confinement. Moreover\ , the nature of QCD implies the existence of gluon-rich hadrons\, such as glueballs and hybrids\, multi-quark states\, and molecules. This presentat ion will highlight a future research program that aims to provide precisio n data exploiting collisions of an intense beam of cooled anti-protons wit h protons or nuclei. This experiment\, called PANDA at FAIR\, has the ambi tion to carry out comprehensive spectroscopy studies of hadrons in the str ange\, charm\, and gluon-rich regimes\, covering topics in the field of nu clear\, hadron\, and particle physics.
