A WORKSHOP on "K-THEORY AND ALGEBRAIC CYCLES" has been organized in the framework of the National Research Project "Geometry on Algebraic Varieties" financed by MURST (the Italian Ministry of Scientific Research). It is also sponsored by the European Project TMR Network ERB FMRX CT-97-0107 "K-Theory and Algebraic Groups" and by EAGER.

    There will be 3 series of lectures (two 1-hour each) and some communications on such topics as : A^1-homotopy theory, Motives and motivic cohomology, recent developments in the theory of algebraic cycles, orbifold cohomology and orbifold Chow ring.
