TOPIC: It is the aim of this conference to discuss categorical topological methods that are likely to be mathematically important in the next century. Furthermore, on Thursday afternoon resp. evening, we shall celebrate the seventieth birthday of Professor Heinrich Kleisli (Fribourg). Tentative titles of the eight invited two hour lectures: A. ARHANGEL'SKII (Moscow, Russia): Topological semigroups. M. BARR (Montreal, Canada): The *-autonomous category of Mackey spaces. MARIA M. CLEMENTINO (Coimbra, Portugal): Closure operators. KATHRYN P. HESS (Lausanne, Switzerland): Model categories in algebraic topology. R. LOWEN (Antwerp, Belgium): Approach spaces. HILARY A. PRIESTLEY (Oxford, England): Duality theory. D. PUMPLUEN (Hagen, Germany): Convex sets and Saks spaces (A paradigmatic case of applied category theory). S. WATSON (York, Canada): How to construct counterexamples in general and set-theoretic topology usefully with pullbacks. SHORT COMMUNICATIONS: Persons interested in giving a short communication are kindly asked to send a one page abstract of their talk by ordinary (air)mail to Prof. Heinrich Kleisli, Department of Mathematics, University of Fribourg, 1700 Fribourg, Switzerland, before April 1, 2000. Please note however that the programme of the congress mainly consists of the afore-mentioned 8 invited lectures (of 2 times 50 minutes each) and allows only a restricted number of (about 8-10) short communications (of 20 minutes each); if necessary, the scientific committee of the conference will have to select among the suggested short communications the most suitable ones. Each participant who wishes to give a short communication will be informed by May 1, 2000, whether his or her talk is part of the final programme of the congress. ACCOMMODATION: The hotels (and student residences) are located near the railway station. The prices are as follows (breakfast included): Single room: 90 sFr. up, Double room: 140 sFr. up. Student residence: Single room (~45 sFr.) Double room (~35 sFr./pers.) TRAVELLING TO FRIBOURG: Intercity trains connect Fribourg with the international airports of Geneva and Zurich. Talks will take place in the Chemistry Building, Perolles-site of the University of Fribourg, close to the centre of the town. Further information about the congress (e.g. maps) can be obtained via its homepage: www.unifr.ch/math/catop2000 REGISTRATION: A participation fee of 100 sFr.
