The Helmholtz International School "Cosmology, strings, and new physics" organized by the Bogoliubov Laboratory of Theoretical Physics, JINR, in the frames of the DIAS-TH program will be held on 2-14 September 2013 in Dubna, Russia.

The preliminary program of the school includes the following topics:

•     Advances in supersymmetric gauge theories
•     Higher Spin Theories
•     A-theorem and RG flows in various dimensions
•     Gravity, (super)symmetries, integrability
•     Status of new physics at LHC
•     Cosmology and high energy physics
•     Inflationary cosmology and alternatives
•     Dark energy and modified gravity

The lectures will be supplemented by evening discussion sessions. Short reports of the students will be encouraged as well. The total number of participants is expected to be about 60.
