Climate Change: Challenges and Influence on Microbial Safety of Water and Food

The FEMS Summer School for Postdocs recognizes 25 of the most talented and promising researchers from across the world. It is designed to support personal and professional development through 9 days of close work with top scientists, and to enable and encourage research collaboration across all fields of microbiology.

We invite you to apply to attend!

The content of the Summer School for 2024 will be focused on the following theme:

Climate Change: Challenges and Influence on Microbial Safety of Water and Food

The Summer School presents a unique opportunity for early career scientists to receive instruction and supervision from prominent academics, collaborate and network with fellow researchers from an international range of countries, and to discuss their own work as well as wider aspects of being a scientist.

''The FEMS Summer School for Postdocs 2023 was an amazing event that I will not forget for the rest of my life. Speakers are super friendly and knowledgeable about their fields. MedILS is surrounded by spectacular landscape that has given us many new ideas for our projects. And the most important are the friendships that I have made during the event." - Hoan Ngo, Student at Summer School for Postdocs 2023

Submit Your Research to the FEMS Journals

The FEMS journals are run by microbiologists, and for microbiologists. Every article published by us has been rigorously reviewed for soundness of science by our community of academic peer reviewers – and any surplus revenue generated by the not-for-profit journals goes directly into supporting the microbiology community.

Seasons Greetings

We extend our warmest greetings to everyone as we enter into the festive period. Looking towards 2024, there are some important events on the way:
• From January 2024, all but one of the FEMS Journals will have transitioned to Open Access and all papers in these journal archives will be free-to-read! Publish with our not-for-profit society journals to keep publishing revenues with the scientific community.
• In February, we will announce the 2023 Article Award Winners. Each FEMS journal selects the best paper published the previous year for special attention. Check out the Article Award Winners from last year.
• The 50th Anniversary of FEMS takes place in 2024! The first meeting of the FEMS Council took place in Amsterdam on 22 November 1974. Since 1974 we have worked consistently to support microbiology and our Member Societies. Stay tuned for more next year...
