Astronomical research in the Elbrus Region are conducted in the wide international cooperation. They are implemented in under the aegis of the International Association of Academies of Sciences in collaboration with the Euro-Asiatic Association of Universities. Authors outline the important scientific results obtained in the fields of fundamental, applied, and search studies within the international astronomical programs at the Terskol Peak Observatory. They refer to the problem of the identification of diffuse interstellar bands, studies of the star light-curve, detection of optical residuals of gamma-ray bursts, determination of the kinematic and physical characteristics of minor bodies of the Solar System (asteroids and comets), as well as investigation of space objects of technogenic origin in the near-Earth space environment.
