A Short History of ICM'98

The Deutsche Mathematiker Vereinigung (DMV) invited the International Mathematical Union (IMU) to hold the 1998 International Congress of Mathematicians in Berlin, Germany in May 1992. The invitation was accepted by the General Assembly of IMU on July 31, 1994 at its meeting in Luzern, Switzerland prior to the ICM 1994 at Zürich.

At a meeting on January 21, 1995 in Berlin the DMV-Präsidium (council of the DMV) together with representatives of the Mathematical Institutes in Berlin appointed the following Board of Directors of the ICM'98 Organizing Committee:

• M. Aigner, Vice President
• M. Grötschel, President
• F. Hirzebruch, Honorary President
• J. Sprekels, Treasurer
• J. Winkler, Secretary General

This Board of Directors acts also as the board of directors of VICM 98 (Verein zur Durchführung des International Congress of Mathematicians in Berlin 1998), a non-profit corporation that was founded on this occasion and carries, on behalf of DMV, all legal responsibilities for the organization of ICM 1998.
