Investigations of hadron structure on the lattice

Lattice simulations of hadronic structure are now reaching a level where they are able to not only complement, but also provide guidance to current and forthcoming experimental programmes at, e.g. Jefferson Lab, COMPASS/CERN and FAIR/GSI. In this talk I review the progress that has been made in this exciting area in the past year and discuss the advances that we can expect to see in the coming year.Topics to be covered include form factors (including transition form factors), moments of ordinary parton and generalised parton distribution functions, moments of distribution amplitudes, and magnetic and electric polarisabilities. I will also highlight the progress being made in determining disconnected contributions to hadronic properties. Of particular interest here is the size of the contribution to various nucleonic properties coming from strange quarks.
