FEMS Summer School for Postdocs
The Summer School aims to foster a mindset of translating cutting-edge technologies from the research bench to scalable industrial applications. It focuses on state-of-the-art in vitro and in vivo technologies that can be used to engineer microbes for a range of novel industrial, environmental, and healthcare applications. In many cases, these applications are designed to replace existing energy-intensive processes that currently rely on non-sustainable substrates and energy sources.

All but one of the FEMS journals are now fully open access (OA), with one journal, FEMS Microbiology Letters remaining a subscription journal with free-to-publish and OA options. Open access is key to supporting the FEMS mission of disseminating high quality research as widely as possible: when high quality, peer reviewed sound science is open access, anyone, anywhere in the world with an internet connection, can read it.
