The renowned Berlin-based mathematics publisher EMS Press has announced the new Scientific Advisory Board (SAB), a member of which is Prof. Tomaž Pisanski.
EMS Press is an imprint of EMS Publishing House GmbH (formerly based in Switzerland), and a subsidiary of the European Mathematical Society. Their program includes 20 journals, 15 new books per year and a backlist of 200 titles. EMS Press is the mathematics community publisher and its mission has remained the same since its founding in 2001 - "to serve the mathematics community by publishing high-quality, accessible, and open research". EMS Press has recently moved to Berlin and has gained a new Managing Director in Dr. André Gaul.
The Scientific Advisory Board is consulted in order to maintain the high scientific standards of the publisher's portfolio - and improve them where possible.

We sincerely congratulate Prof. Pisanski and wish him every success in his mandate!
Prof. Tomaž Pisanski is an internationally known researcher working in the field of discrete and computational mathematics, with applications in natural sciences, engineering and social sciences. He is one of the pioneers of topological graph theory in the world and the founder of the world-renowned Slovenian school of graph theory. His most important contribution to the global scientific community is based on the use of discrete mathematics methods in natural sciences and technology. His contribution to the development of the representations of graphs, which is used in mathematics as well as in chemistry, biology and other sciences, is also remarkable. Thanks to him, Slovenian science in these fields is recognized and appreciated globally, and his intensive cooperation with researchers and research institutions from all over the world, as well as his membership in numerous scientific organizations and associations abroad, has had a strong influence on the development of Slovenian science for decades.
He is one of the two founding members and editor-in-chief of the international mathematical journal Ars Mathematica Contemporanea – AMC, President of the Slovenian Society for Discrete and Applied Mathematics, the Chair of the Organizing Committee of the 8th European Congress of Mathematics - 8ECM, and Chair of Department of Information Sciences and Technologies at UP Famnit. In 2015 he received the prestigious Zois Award for outstanding achievements in scientific research work in the field of discrete mathematics and its applications, and in 2020 he was awarded with the recognition of »Prometeus of science for excellence in communication« for life achievements.
