Dear {contact.first_name},

We have exciting news to share with you. Meet the FEMSmicro Monthly, our new newsletter format that provides you with the latest news from your European microbiology community at a glance.

On behalf of the whole FEMS Team we would like to wish you a healthy and productive 2024!

All the best,
The FEMS Team

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...

Why Publish With The FEMS Journals?
