An International Conference devoted to

              Representation Theory of Algebras

will be held 
                August 31 - September 5, 1998

atand ending on September 5 at 2:00 pm). 

The scientific organization lies in the hands of

       Dieter Happel (Chemnitz), Helmut Lenzing (Paderborn),
 Claus Michael Ringel (Bielefeld) and Klaus W. Roggenkamp (Stuttgart). 
 
The local organizing committee consists of Thomas Br"ustle, 
Peter Dr"axler, Steffen K"onig, Henning Krause, Rainer N"orenberg,
Claus Michael Ringel and Jan Schr"oer.

                          Program
There will be 18 one-hour lectures on important recent developments 
in the subject and on decisive relations to other parts of mathematics. 
The following mathematicians have accepted our invitation for such a lecture:
        Hans Joachim Baues (Bonn, Germany)
        Raymundo Bautista (UNAM, Mexico)
        Jon Carlson (Athens, USA)
        William Crawley-Boevey (Leeds, England)
        Gordon James (London, England)

The remaining one-hour lectures and additional twenty-minutes lectures 
(in parallel sessions) will be arranged on the basis of abstracts 
provided by participants.

On Tuesday evening (September 1) there will be a presentation of
computer algebra packages which handle problems in
representation theory, organized by Peter Dr"axler (Bielefeld).

The final program will be available July 31, 1998 in the internet.
        
                         Abstracts 
The deadline for the submission of an abstract is June 30, 1998.
Such an abstract should be no longer than one page and should clearly state 
the result to be presented. The abstracts obtained in time will


be distributed to all participants.
                                   
                      Registration Fee 
There will be a registration fee of DM 200,- (for students: DM 150,-).

                      The Week Before:
The International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM 98) will be held 
at Berlin August 18 - 27, 1998. It is easy to go from Berlin to Bielefeld: 
one may use a train, it runs every hour and takes 210 minutes.
  
                       The Week After:
This meeting will be followed by a Euroconference devoted to 
"Infinite Length Modules", September 7 - 11, 1998, also hosted by
the University of Bielefeld (see the announcement below).
Special funds of the European Union (TMR) are available for allowing 
young researchers from member states of the European Union 
to participate at the Euroconference.
For those who register for both conferences (The International Conference
on "Representation Theory of Algebras" and the Euroconference on 
"Infinite Length Modules") we plan an excursion on Sunday, September 6.
