ABOUT FEBS CONGRESSES
The annual FEBS Congress is one of the most visible activities of FEBS. As one of the largest bio-congresses in Europe, attracting up to ~2000 attendees, the Congress provides a platform for international scientific exchange and showcases the newest developments in biochemistry, molecular biology and related areas. The Congress comprises inspiring plenary lectures presented by outstanding scientists, a range of subject-specific symposia to provide deeper dives into different areas of bioscience research, extensive poster communications, and interesting workshops and other activities on related topics. It is also a celebration of achievements, with several FEBS medals and prizes awarded. FEBS Congresses are a collaboration between FEBS and one or more of its Constituent Societies, moving to a different location within the FEBS area each year.
FEBS supports participation of a large number of young scientists in its annual Congress through the FEBS Congress Bursaries scheme. In addition, the Congress is also immediately preceded by the FEBS Young Scientists’ Forum (YSF), a lively gathering of over 100 PhD students and young postdocs, whose attendance at this event and the ensuing FEBS Congress is funded by FEBS YSF grants.
