QCD@WORK International Workshop on Quantum Chromodynamics: Theory and Experiment, Martina Franca, Bari, Italy, 16-20 June 2001

Recent experimental results and new theoretical developments discussed during the conference are described in these proceedings. The various contributions concern low energy QCD, the most recent advances and challenges in perturbative QCD, the highlights in heavy flavor physics and in QCD at high temperature density. First results from the Bookhaven RHIC machine as well as the latest date from CERN that are providing us with deeper insights into the problem of the quark-gluon plasma and the fascinating issue of the QCD phase diagram are also presented.
