We present recent results on the evolution of the colour-magnitude relation
and of the star formation activity in galaxy clusters since z~0.8. Results are
based on the ESO Distant Cluster Survey (EDisCS) - an ESO large programme aimed
at the study of cluster structure and cluster galaxy evolution over a
significant fraction of cosmic time - and are discussed in the framework of the
current standard paradigm of structure formation.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figure, to appear in ASP Conference Series (Proceedings of

and Evolution", held in Japan, 10-15 December 2007
