A summer school on Motives, K-theory and Arithmetical Geometry will
  be held in Sestri Levante, a Beach Resort near Genova (ITALY), during the
  week June 28-July 2, 2004 in the framework of the Italian Research
  Network "Geometria sulle Varieta' Algebriche" (financed by MIUR) and
  the European Network HPRN-CT-2002-00287 "K-theory and Algebraic
  Groups".

  The Scientific Committee is : L. Barbieri-Viale (Roma I), B.
  Chiarellotto (Padova), C. Pedrini (Genova) and U. Rehmann (Bielefeld).


  The school is mainly intended for young researchers coming from Italian
  and European Universities partecipating in the Networks, and who are
  interested in Algebraic Geometry and Number Theory. The School will
  feature the following topics:

  1) Motives of algebraic varieties and motivic cohomology;

  2) Chow groups of varieties over finite fields and p-adic fields;

  3) Algebraic stacks and equivariant theories;

  4) Motivic Galois group;

  5) Birational motives and finite dimensionality.


  A series of lectures on the above topics, in the mornings, will be
  given by:


  Y. ANDRE', J.-L. COLLIOT-THELENE, B. KAHN, L. MORET-BAILLY, C. WEIBEL


  The afternoons will be devoted to informal discussions, and short talks
  on research topics given by invited experts and by the partecipants in
  the School.


  LOCATION

  The activity will take place at the Meeeting Centre "FONDAZIONE
  MEDIATERRANEO" located in a restored old Monastery (Abbazia dei Padri
  Domenicani) on the Gulf of Sestri Levante.
  Sestri Levante is 45 Km west of Genova Airport, on the railroad
  connecting Genova to Roma. There are direct trains from Genova, Roma,
  Milano Torino, Firenze.

  Partecipants will be hosted in different hotels in Sestri Levante, all
within walking distance from the MEDIATERRANEO. For reservations and
information about rates contact
Camilla Capozzi (info@mediaterraneo.org)



  FINANCIAL SUPPORT

  If you belong to one of the above mentioned networks, you can apply to
  your node coordinator for support.For those young researchers (max 35
  years old) coming from NIS countries special financial support has
  been requested from INTAS (http://www.intas.be/mainfs.htm). If obtained it
  will cover both travel and living expenses. Otherwise, applicants should
  please contact
