Scientific Committee: M. Karoubi, C. Pedrini and U. Rehmann.

The school will be organized by CIRM (Centro Internazionale per la Ricerca Matematica) in the framework of the research project TMR FMRX-CT97 -0107"K-Theory and Algebraic groups" which has been financed by ECC and is coordinated by U. Rehmann (Bielefeld).

The School is mainly intended for PhD students and young researchers coming from the different European Universities.

The organization of the Summer School is based on the experience of 3 previous Summer Schools which have been organized in the years 1993,1994, 1995 in the framework of the ECC Science Plan "K-Theorie et ses applications... "

There will be 4 main series of lectures in the morning and research talks in the afternoon. Each lecture series will consist of 5 hours lectures covering the following topics:

1. An Introduction to K-Theory and its Recent Developments (E. Friedlander)
2. K-Theory and Algebraic Groups (A. Merkurjev)
3. K-Theory of Algebraic Integers (M. Kolster)
4. K-theory and Quadratic Forms over Fields (B. Kahn)

For applications and reservations contact the secretary of CIRM Micheletti (Micheletti)
For financial support contact Claudio Pedrini

All those who intend to give a talk in the afternoon sessions please send a title and a short abstract to Claudio Pedrini, Dipartimento di Matematica, Universitá di Genova
