Prof. Frank Ewert (2016)

Frank Ewert (born 1963) is a German agricultural scientist, Scientific Director of the Leibniz Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research (ZALF) and Professor of Crop Production at the University of Bonn.

His areas of expertise include crop science, production ecology, systems analysis, and plant growth modelling. His work focuses on sustainability and impact assessments of the influence of climate change on crop production systems, food security, and resource conservation.

Professional career

Ewert studied agricultural sciences at the University of Rostock (Germany) from 1983 to 1988. From 1988 to 1993 doctoral studies followed at the University of Rostock. He continued his scientific career in 1995 as a research associate at the Long Ashton Research Station of the University of Bristol and the Agricultural and Food Research Council (AFRC) in the UK. From 1995 to 2002, Frank Ewert worked as an Assistant and Associate Research Professor at the Department of Agricultural Sciences, Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University, later at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark. From 2002 to 2008, he was a senior scientist at the Department of Plant Sciences at Wageningen University in the Netherlands.

In 2008, he was called to the University of Bonn, where he has since been Professor of Crop Science at the Institute of Crop Science and Resource Conservation (INRES). There, he also leads the working group on crop production.

Effective March 1, 2016, Frank Ewert took over as Scientific Director at the Leibniz Center for Agricultural Landscape Research (ZALF) in Müncheberg near Berlin. He was granted leave of absence from the University of Bonn to perform this function.

In 2002 and 2012 Frank Ewert received calls from the Technical University of Munich (Professorship of Organic Agriculture) and the University of Reading (Professor of Crop Science), which he did not accept.
