This is the fourth of a series of successful meetings on the development of Formal Topology and its connections with related approaches. The first three have been held in Padua (1997), Venice (2002), and Padua (2007). The workshop is colocated with the Workshop on Higher Dimensional Algebra, Categories and Types which will take place on June 20, 20012. See the workshop website for details.
