2. 1. Short history University Giessen, founded 1607 Giessen: 65 km north of Frankfurt, 85 km north of GSI (Darmstadt) 21 000 students Physics: Roentgen 1879-87, Wien, Drude, Bothe

3. 1. Short history Start of collaboration with workshop at BLTP in 1991 First visits in Giessen from 1992: Prof. V. Soloviev, Prof. S. Ivanova, Prof. R. Jolos, Dr. N. Antonenko About 90 visits of 20 participants (students, graduates, scientists, professors) of BLTP, UC and FLNR

4. 2. Research based on Dinuclear Idea Dinuclear system concept suggested by V. V. Volkov (1986) A 1 A 2

5. 2. Research based on Dinuclear Idea Two main degrees of freedom of the dinuclear model: 1. Relative motion of nuclei 2. Nucleon transfer between nuclei

6. 2. Research based on Dinuclear Idea Application of dinuclear model: –Cross sections for production of superheavy nuclei –Cross sections for quasifission and fission –Nuclear cluster structure in normal, hyper- and superdeformed nuclei

9. 2. Research based on Dinuclear Idea Results published in –60 papers in refereed journals, for example Phys. Rev. C, Nucl. Phys. A, Phys. Lett. B –30 papers in conference proceedings and reports

10. 3. Various supports Collaboration is supported by various sources.  University Giessen: position of graduate students, presently A. Andreev  Federal Minister of Education and Research (BMBF): position of graduate student, T. Shneidman, 2000-2003

18. 3. Various supports  European Physical Society: Grants for graduate students of BLTP and UC to study and work on their doctoral thesis for a half year in Giessen. Up to now 4 fellowships.

19. 3. Various supports  Heraeus Foundation (Hanau): Support of Symposium on Nuclear clusters: from light exotic to super- heavy nuclei, near Giessen in 2003, organized by R. Jolos et al., 17 participants from Dubna out of 92 participants

20. Symposium on Nuclear Clusters, August 2003

21. 4. Future aspects Larger weight of theoretical low-energy nuclear physics at GSI (Darmstadt) after reorganisation of the Department of Theory. In future closer theoretical collaboration with GSI. My wish: Continuation of the fruitful collaboration of Giessen with BLTP and UC in future.
