Abstract
The question of possible existence ofη-mesic nuclei is quite intriguing. Answer to this question will deeply enrich our understanding ofη-nucleus interaction which is not so well-understood. We review the experimental efforts for the search ofη-mesic nuclei and describe the physics motivation behind it. We present the description of an experiment for the search ofη-nucleus bound state using the GeV proton beam, currently being performed at COSY
