Life edit

Gregor Hagedorn studied biology at the University of Tübingen and at Duke University (North Carolina).[3] Afterwards, he worked in the Department of Mycology at the University of Bayreuth until 2007.[4] In 2007 his dissertation on "Structuring Descriptive Data of Organisms – Requirement Analysis and Information Models" was completed at the University of Bayreuth.[5]

From 1992 to 2013 he was a staff member at the Federal Biological Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry, now Julius Kühn Institute.[3] He played a major role in the development of a data standard for describing gender within the Taxonomic Databases Working Group.[6]

Since 2013, Hagedorn has been working at the Museum of Natural History Berlin, first as Head of Digital World and Information Science (until 2016), then as Academic Director.[7][8]

Between 2014 and 2018 Hagedorn was a member of the German National Council for Information Infrastructures as a representative of the scientific organisations.

Scientists for Future edit

Together with other scientists, Hagedorn founded the grassroots movement Scientists for Future (S4F) in March 2019.[9][10][11] This initiative was inspired by a group of Belgian scientists who had earlier offered their support to the nascent Fridays for Future movement in January 2019 under the banner of Scientists for Climate.[12][13][14] The first statement by Scientists For Future was written by a circle of 30 people and signed by 26800 scientists in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.[14] The key authors also published a similar statement in Science with scientists from the United States, including Michael Mann and Katharine Hayhoe.[15] Hagedorn represented Scientists for Future at an environmental meeting with the German Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier in early 2020.[16] In late‑2021, Hagedorn presented a TEDx talk in Potsdam on the topic of sustainability.[17]
