VIA Discussions at XIV Bled Workshop
  Virtual Institute of Astroparticle Physics (VIA), integrated in the structure
of Laboratory of AstroParticle physics and Cosmology (APC) is evolved in a
unique multi-functional complex of $e-science$ and $e-learning$, supporting
various forms of collaborative scientific work as well as programs of education
at distance. The activity of VIA takes place on its website and includes
regular videoconferences with systematic basic courses and lectures on various
issues of astroparticle physics, regular online transmission of APC
Colloquiums, participation at distance in various scientific meetings and
conferences, library of their records and presentations, a multilingual Forum.
VIA virtual rooms are open for meetings of scientific groups and for individual
work of supervisors with their students. The format of a VIA videoconferences
was effectively used in the program of XIV Bled Workshop to provide a
world-wide participation at distance in discussion of the open questions of
physics beyond the standard model. The VIA system has demonstrated its high
quality and stability even for minimal equipment (laptop with microphone and
webcam and WiFi Internet connection).
