Graph embeddings and maps on surfaces, Podbanské, Slovakia, July 30 - August 4, 2017

Abstract

The workshop "Graph Embeddings and Maps on Surfaces", which took placein the Grand Hotel Permon in Podbanske in High Tatras in the middle of summerof 2017, was the seventh in the series of GEMS workshops. The series was startedin 1994 in Donovaly by Roman Nedela and Martin Skoviera whose aim was toorganize a regular gathering of researchers interested in various aspects of thetheory of maps and graph embeddings that would by denition be associated withSlovakia and the Slovakian school of (topological) graph theory.
