Joint ECFA-NuPECC-APPEC Workshop “Synergies between the EIC and the LHC”

The role of the LHC data in constraining nuclear parton distributions (nPDFs) is of fundamental significance. In this talk I present the evolution of our knowledge about nPDFs from pre-LHC era to the current time. I focus on recent results especially from the nCTEQ group and provide the current status before the time of EIC.
