\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Einar, a native of Sweden, earned his PhD in mathematics in Poland, specializing in mathematical logic and related topics. He later became an honorary member of the Polish Mathematical Society.<\/span><\/p>\n

Moving to the Netherlands, Einar started his publishing career at North-Holland Publishing Company and subsequently Elsevier, where he worked with great dedication for 17 years. He later founded and headed the highly regarded publishing house, IOS Press, for more than 35 years until he came to an agreement with Sage to incorporate IOS Press into their operations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Einar was closely involved with Polish mathematical publishing over the years. His deepest intellectual interests were focused on automated approaches to mathematical theorem proofs. His interest in various scientific disciplines, collaboration with academics and his pursuit of innovative forms of publication have made him an important and highly respected leader within the STM publishing field.<\/span><\/p>\n

More recently, his interest in AI brought him in contact with the FAIR data movement. Einar had followed FAIR from its inception, and in recent years, he focused specifically on the development of practical methods for the creation of machine-actionable data across disciplines. Einar’s legacy will live on through his significant contributions to the STM field and the many lives he touched with his passion and dedication.<\/span><\/p>\n
