ICM'98
The scientific program of ICM'98 takes place at TU Berlin - except for the first day. During the first day the ICM'98 participants gather at the International Congress Center (ICC). Please consult the Section F.5 "Reaching the Conference Locations" in the Second Announcement to find descriptions of the various ways how you can reach ICC. The ICC is a huge building (very close to the Berliner Funkturm that looks like a small copy of the Eiffel Tower) and is hard to miss.
Flags of the 95 countries that are represented at ICM'98 will greet the participants on the ICC plaza in front of the entrance.
The ICM'98 organizers do not want to bother those participants who arrive in the morning of August 18 with requiring to register before attending the Opening Ceremony. Thus, registration prior to the opening ceremony is not necessary. Everybody wishing to attend the opening ceremony is welcome (in particular all accompanying persons). They are also invited to attend the buffet lunch after the Opening Ceremony at ICC.
The program of the Opening Ceremony has been decided. Please find the program of the Opening Ceremony on this page.
The highlight of the Opening Ceremony will be the prize awards. The pages on the Fields Medals and the Nevanlinna Prize in the ICM'98 and in the IMU server have been updated recently.
Of course, following a long tradition, the names of the Fields medalists and the winner of the Nevanlinna Prize are kept secret until the Opening Ceremony.
