was organized under the auspices of:
Mathematical Institute of Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences,
International Mathematical Union,
in cooperation with:
Department of Mathematics of Prague Institute of Chemical Technology,

Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of Charles University .
The organizers:
S. Donaldson, (representative of IMU),
M. Hušek, (chairman),
B. Balcar, (vicechairman),
P. Simon, (secretary),

Toposym was partly sponsored by International Mathematical Union, by grants of organizers, by Czech Airlines, by Elsevier and by Conforg (A. Kotěšovcová).
The Symposium was attended by 209 mathematicians from 35 countries.
The scientific program consisted of 41 lectures invited by the organizing committee, 103 oral contributions presented in four parallel sections, 14 posters and 9 enlarged abstracts.
Many contributions together with abstracts are published at  Topology Atlas.
The conference took place at an areal of  University of Economics (scientific program)  and of  Prague Institute of Chemical Technology  (accommodation and meals) at the  southern part of Prague.
During the conference, several social and cultural events were organized (welcome and farewell rauts, a sightseeing tour in Prague, an organ concert in a church, guided tours in Prague for accompanying persons, and a wholeday tour to a crystal-glass factory at Nizbor, a classicist castle Kozel near Pilsen with a dinner in a country farm restaurant.
