Summary

In the week from June 12th to June 17th, 1989, the functional analysis group of the Mathematics Department, Johannes-Kepier-Universitat at Linz played host to an international conference on the geometry of Banach spaces which was sponsored by the International Mathematical Union. This conference united 119 participants from 27 countries, including most of the leading specialists in the field, for a week of intensive study and discussion on recent progress. The scientific programme consisted of 23 plenary lectures which were held by a number of experts invited by the members of the organizing committee. In addition, there were a series of half-hour talks held in parallel sessions.
