Title: Operads and Algebraic Geometry

The study (motivated by mathematical physics) of algebraic varieties related to the moduli spaces of curves, helped to uncover important connections with the abstract algebraic theory of operads. This interaction led to new developments in both theories, and the purpose of the talk is to discuss some of them.
