development of Formal Topology and its connections with
related approaches. The first two have been held in Padua,
1997, and Venice, 2002.

What is formal topology

When topology is developed in a strictly constructive way,
for instance over Martin-Loef's type theory, points cannot be
given primitively and the pointfree approach is fundamental.
This is the reason why it is called formal. Formal topology
has now become an important tool in constructive mathematics.
