This traditional Workshop is held every two years in Dubna in the interim between the two major symposiums on spin physics and brings together theoretical physicists and experimentalists from different countries, dealing with the spin of elementary particles. This year, 110 scientists from Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, the UK, and the USA came to participate in the Workshop. During the five days of the Workshop participants will hear about 90 scientific reports.

The scientific programme of the Workshop includes: recent experimental data on spin physics, the nucleon spin structure and GPD’s, spin physics and QCD, spin physics in the Standard Model and beyond, T-odd spin effects, polarization and heavy ion physics, spin in gravity and astrophysics, the future spin physics facilities, spin physics at NICA, polarimeters for high energy polarized beams, acceleration and storage of polarized beams, the new polarization technology, spintronics of nanostructures, and some related subjects.
