  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 at
distance interactive online participation in conferences and meetings, various
forms of collaborative scientific work as well as programs of education. 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 XV 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) and without any technical assistance at place.
