The International Congress on Differential Geometry in Memory of Alfred Gray (1939-1998) took place in Bilbao from September 18 to September 23, 2000. The Congress was organized by the Department of Mathematics of the University of the Basque Country, and sought to display gratitude, respect and affection for Alfred Gray. This Congress was a very special mathematical event. It reflected a num- ber of active subjects in modern differential geometry, many of them connected with the work and interests of Alfred Gray, such as special Riemannian manifolds, homogeneous spaces, complex structures, symplectic manifolds, geometry of geo- desic spheres and tubes and related problems, geometry of surfaces, and computer graphics in differential geometry. A round table was also held with a discussion on geometry from the viewpoints of education and research. In all there were one hundred and seventy-six participants from twenty-four countries in Europe, Asia, the Americas and indeed all over the world. The pro- gramme featured fourteen plenary conferences, a video conference, a round table discussion, sixty oral communications, and a section of 20 poster communications. The accompanying social events provided an inspiring atmosphere for scientific contacts and fruitful discussions.
