"With impressive commitment, he has promoted the global research landscape and knowledge transfer for decades and ensured scientific excellence," says Sigrid Nikutta, Chairwoman of the Curatorium of the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW) Berlin, where Gert G. Wagner worked for many years as Head of the DIW Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) and former Chairman of the DIW Executive Board.  Obituary on the website of the German Institute for Economic Research

We were deeply saddened to hear of the sudden death of Gert G. Wagner, who was a Fellow at the Max Weber Centre for Advanced Cultural and Social Studies at the University of Erfurt from 2009 to 2010, where he conducted research on "Religion and Life Satisfaction".

On behalf of the Kolleg, we would like to express our deepest sympathy to his family. We will honour his memory.
