As the LHCb Collaboration has announced new heavy-pentaquark states, Pc, it is highly required to consider again the physics of pentaquarks, including both the light and heavy flavored pentaquarks. Recently, the narrow nucleon resonance N(1685) was reported by various experimental groups, in particular, in the process of photoproduction of three hadrons, pi, eta, and the proton. The identification of N(1685) is still under debate. Moreover, a new program on the measurement of the controversial Theta+ is under way at J-PARC. Upcoming novel results on heavy exotic baryons are expected from the LHC. In this regard, we want to offer an opportunity to gather together and to discuss the prospects for the future of the light and heavy pentaquarks. We will also share experimental and theoretical ideas and information for the physics of the pentaquarks in the future during this workshop.
