The Slovak Spectator recently highlighted Slovakia's leading scientists of 2024, featuring Martin Kahanec, the Scientific Director of CELSI.

“The last quarter of 2024 was busy when it comes to Slovak scientists receiving recognition for their work,” notes the article’s author, Matúš Beňo.

Slovak Spectator underlined that, according to RePEc, the world's most widely respected database of economics publications, Kahanec is the most productive Slovak economist, ranking among the top 9% of economists in Europe.

Kahanec was chosen for this list of prestigious scientists after being appointed to several key positions in the European Academy of Sciences (Academia Europaea). He was elected as Chair of the Social and Related Sciences Section, which led to his appointment as Vice-President of Academia Europaea and a member of its Board of Trustees.

He finds himself in the company of distinguished Slovak scientists such as computer scientist Mária Bieliková from the Kempelen Institute of Intelligent Technologies, AI expert Igor Farkaš, and physicist František Herman, both from the Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Informatics at Comenius University Bratislava, as well as oncologist Michal Mego from the National Cancer Institute in Bratislava.
