The Proceedings of the International Congress of Mathematicians 1998, held in Berlin, are published – electronically and in print – in three volumes. Volume I contains information on the organization of the Congress including the list of participants, reports on the opening and closing ceremonies, the Laudationes on the Fields Medalists and the Nevanlinna Prize Winner, and the Plenary Lectures. Volumes II and III contain the Invited Lectures.
