State U. and PNPI) {\it Local Organizing Committee}: A.Anselm (chairman), D.Diakonov, M.Eides, Yu.Malov, M.Polyakov \vspace{.5cm} This is the third International Winter School organized by the St.Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute (PNPI). The previous schools in 1993 and 94 were in High Energy Physics and QCD. This year the lectures will cover topics including both perturbative and non-perturbative aspects of Quantum Chromodynamics. We invite Ph.D. students and young postdocs. The following mini-lecture courses are planned: \vspace{.5cm} Alexei Anselm (PNPI): {\it Disoriented Chiral Condensate} David Bailin (Sussex U.) {\it Introduction to Strings} (to be confirmed) Dmitri Diakonov (PNPI): {\it Confinement in QCD} Yuri Dokshitzer (PNPI and Lund U.): {\it QCD Coherence and the Landau - Pomeranchuk - Migdal effect} Mikhail Eides (PNPI): {\it Theory of Loosely Bound Two-Body Systems} Leonid Frankfurt (Tel Aviv and PNPI) and Mark Strikman (Penn State U. and PNPI): {\it Color Coherence Effects in High Energy Collisions} Lev Lipatov (PNPI): {\it High-Energy Scattering in Multi-Color QCD} Alexandr Migdal (Princeton U. and PNPI): {\it To be announced} Alfred Mueller (Columbia U.): {\it Low x Physics} Victor Petrov (PNPI): {\it Coherent Multi-Particle Production in Field Theory} Maxim Polyakov (PNPI): {\it Effective Chiral Lagrangians versus Duality} \vspace{.3cm} Additional lectures and seminars are beeing planned. \vspace{.5cm} There will be 11 working days, with 3 lectures in the morning and additional lectures / seminars / discussions after lunch. We are going to have discussion-type seminars in the afternoons, on the material presented by the lecturers in the mornings. The lectures will be both pedagogical and up-to-date. The study is to be pretty intensive. The lectures will be in English and the proceedings of the school will be published. The participants will stay in single rooms at a hotel in a little town Gatchina where the Institute is situated (40 km south from St.Petersburg), within walk distance from the Institute through a fir-tree forest. Meals will be served both at the hotel and at the Institute. The hotel is next to a beautiful park which surrounds a former imperial palace. There is a swimming pool next door and a sport center available for basketball and tennis. The participants will be able to cross-country ski right from the hotel door. On Saturdays and Sundays there will be sight-seeing excursions to St.Petersburg and to its world-famous museums. \\ \\ {\it School fee:} \$ 700, including full board, lodging and transportation\\ {\it Arrivals:} February 25 and 26, 1995\\ {\it Departures:} March 11 and 12\\ {\it Applications:} Ph.D. students are kindly asked to give their affiliation, research topic and a few lines of recommendation by their scientific adviser; postdocs give their affiliation and thesis topic; all participants are kindly asked to send their passport data for the Russian visa\\ {\it Deadline for applications:} January 10, 1995 \\ {\it Address for correspondence:} Dr. Maxim Polyakov, e-mail: maximp@hadron.tp2.ruhr-uni-bochum.de; fax: +7 812 713 1963 (before November, 1) or +49 234 709 4248 (after November, 1) \\ {\it Participants from the USA} may get a support from the APS / NSF.
