        The Bogoliubov Laboratory of Theoretical Physics (BLTP) has a good record of organizing international workshops and schools in Dubna. DIAS-TH organizes and supervises all educational programs for students, postgraduates, and young scientists at BLTP. It should function continuously and the standard short schools (about 3-4 a year) should be organized coherently. Other educational programs in Dubna such as the JINR University Center may also correlate with DIAS-TH (common programs on modern theoretical physics, workshops for students and young scientists, etc.).

• Training courses for students, graduates, and young scientists in the JINR Member States and other countries (according to special agreements and grants). 
  
  
• Looking for and supporting gifted young theorists in the JINR Member States; creating databases of students and young researchers. 
  
  
• Organization of schools of different levels in Dubna and coordination with similar schools in Russia, Germany, and other European countries. 
  
  
• Support of the JINR experimental programs by organizing lecture courses and review lectures on new trends in modern physics. 
  
  
• Cooperation with the JINR University Center in training students and postgraduates as well as in organizing schools for students. 
  
  
• Coordination of the research - training programs with workshops and conferences at JINR. 
  
  
• Publication of lectures and discussions in different forms, in particular, with the use of modern electronic equipment, etc. 
  
  
• Supporting the WEB page of DIAS-TH which should become the organizing center of the programs related to DIAS-TH.

The main topics of the DIAS activity should be centered around the most important directions of research at BLTP: Theory of Fundamental Interactions; Nuclear Theory; Theory of Condensed Matter; Modern Mathematical Physics. 

Expected major results in the current year:

• Organization of four international schools at BLTP. 
  
  
• Organization of one-day lectures/discussions and regular seminars for students and post-graduates. 
  
  
• Computer processing of video records of lectures, support of digital archive of video records. 
  
  
• Support of Web-site of DIAS-TH.
