All this research activity was reflected in the successful workshops on Transversal and Helly-type Theorems in Geometry, Combinatorics and Topology I and II that took place at the Banff International Research Station (BIRS), the first one from the 20th to the 25th of September, 2009 and the second one from the 21 until 26 of October in 2012. With a collection of articles in this topic, a special Issue of the Journal Discrete and Computational Geometry'' was dedicated to the publication of the most relevant works presented during the first workshop. Given this success and the generated research impetus, as we mention before, it is important to reunite again researchers in the area with the objective of interchanging ideas and assessing recent advances, to further foster awareness of the inter-disciplinary aspect of Transversal and Helly-type Theorems in relation to geometry, topology, combinatorics, and computer science, and to map yet other directions of future research. Our objective is to realize these goals via this workshop.
