What a way to start 2023! While receiving abstracts for our first in person congress in four years we cannot help but smile. Personal face to face interaction is so needed, also for the advancing of microbiology. Share the news with your colleagues, there's only a few days for abstract submission and we hope to see your society well represented!

All the best,

the FEMS Team

Abstract submissions and grant applications for FEMS 2023 close on 1 February 2023, 11:59 PM CET.

Submit your abstract now before it is too late and join us in Hamburg between 9-13 July for the biggest microbiology event in Europe!

While you are submitting your abstract you can also apply for our Congress Attendance Grant or the FEMS-ASM Mäkelä-Cassell Award. 

Run for it!

· Equality, Diversity, Dignity, Inclusivity, and Equity · Novel Molecular Approaches to Diagnostics in Clinical Microbiology and Clinical Veterinary Microbiology · New insights into the nitrogen cycle · Biological Nitrogen Fixation: genes, organisms, ecosystems · Biofilms · Bacterial Pathogenesis · Polar and Alpine Microbiology · Microbial Ecotoxicology: from the lab to the field · Modulating the Environment with Microbes · Emerging role of chromatin remodeling in the persistence and elimination of microbial pathogens

All journals in the FEMS Portfolio welcome spontaneous submissions except for FEMS Microbiology Reviews (invited contributions, pre-submission enquiries possible).

Every year we run several volunteer projects aiming to communicate microbiology to a wider audience. Recently, we welcomed 14 volunteers to our #MicrobiologyInArt blog section team but also 2 volunteers to our Journal Social Media Editor team.

New volunteer calls will be advertised on our newsletter, website and social media but we are always open for contributors to our #FEMSmicroBlog!
