Proceedings of the Seminar are under preparation.
International Seminar Strongly Correlated Systems
(20-24 September, Dubna)
The Seminar was devoted to the theory of condensed matter with a special emphasis on the recent developments in the theory of strongly correlated electron systems, especially in the context of High-Tc supercunductivity. Other topics of current interests of the participants, e.g., self-organized criticality, were also covered.
A total of about 60 scientists from JINR, Germany, Russia and other scientific centres of FSU attended the Seminar.

The 3rd School-Seminar Secrets of Quantum and Mathematical Intuition
(25-28 October, Dubna)
Physicists-researchers and teachers from the FSU countries attended the School-Seminar. The invited lecturers presented some scientific novelties and exchanged their opinions on a range of selected topics in modern nonrelativistic quantum theory and mathematics.
International Seminar Heavy Quark Physics
(14-16 December, Bad Honnef (Germany))
During the Seminar there were some experimental review talks intended to summarize and update experimental results from the wealth of data provided by the ARGUS, CLEO and LEP(CERN) experiments. A number of talk covered the envisaged physics potential of the future experimental bottom facilities. On the theoretical side there were a number of review talks summarizing recent advances in the theoretical understanding of heavy quark physics within and outside the framework of the Heavy Quark Effective Theory. This included, among others, review talks on heavy quarks in lattice gauge theory, the productions of heavy quarks and quarkonia, the physics of the top quark and the influence of the top quark on electroweak precision measurments.
On the whole, the Seminar provided an excellent opportunity to up-date our present experimental and theoretical knowledge of the physics of heavy quarks and, while doing so, to meet and discuss with those physicists that are actively involved in this field.
The Seminar was supported by the We-Heraeus-Stiftung and the Heisenberg-Landau program.
