Organized by: H. Esnault, A. Kresch, B. Poonen, A. Skorobogatov

Overview
This workshop, held during the semester-long program "Rational points and algebraic cycles", will focus on the applications of cohomological methods to the study of algebraic cycles and rational points on algebraic varieties.
