The problem under study and the main purpose of the reserch:
The Dubna International Advanced School of Theoretical Physics (DIAS-TH) is a scientific and educational project aimed, firstly, at training senior students, post-graduate students and young scientists on research topics of the Laboratory of Theoretical Physics, priority scientific areas of JINR research and modern areas of physics. The second goal of the project is to expand international cooperation and attract young scientists from Russia and the participating countries to JINR.

Brief annotation and scientific rationale:
The Dubna International Advanced School of Theoretical Physics (DIAS-TH) is a scientific and educational project that has successfully been developing at the N.N. Bogolyubov Laboratory of Theoretical Physics since 2003. 

Expected results upon completion of the project:
Within the framework of the project "Dubna International School of Modern Theoretical Physics", in educational activities it is supposed to organize regular schools on JINR priority topics and modern scientific areas for schoolchildren, students, post-graduate students and young scientists from the JINR Member States and other countries; to carry out review lectures on problems of modern physics for JINR staff; to continue/renew cooperation with scientific organizations of the Russian Federation and foreign scientific organizations, higher educational institutions in educational activities; to participate in the educational activities at the JINR-based departments of Moscow State University, MEPhI, MIPT, Dubna State University together with the JINR University Center; to organize schools for students, graduate students and young scientists in cooperation with the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, Yerevan Institute of Physics, etc.; to take part in international scientific and educational projects.

Expected results of the project in the current year:
Organization at BLTP of four schools on theoretical physics for students, post-graduates and young scientists:
-  DIAS school on gravity and cosmology (Chairman of the Organizing Committee D.V. Fursaev);

- School and workshop on modern mathematical physics (Chairman of the Organizing Committee S.O. Krivonos);
