Could your institution host the next FEBS-IUBMB-ENABLE Conference?
FEBS and the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB) invite applications to host the 7th FEBS-IUBMB-ENABLE International Molecular Biosciences PhD and Postdoc Conference, to be held in Autumn 2028.
The FEBS-IUBMB-ENABLE Conference is a three-day international event designed by and for early-career researchers in the molecular life sciences. Bringing together up to 250 PhD students and postdoctoral researchers from across Europe and beyond, the conference combines an outstanding scientific programme with career development activities, networking opportunities and public engagement initiatives.
Hosting the conference offers a unique opportunity for a university or research institute to raise its international profile, showcase its research strengths, and connect with talented young scientists from around the world. It also provides valuable professional development opportunities for the institution’s own PhD students and postdoctoral researchers, who play an active role in the organisation of the event alongside an international committee of young scientists.
To support the host institution, FEBS and IUBMB provide funding of up to €86,100, together with extensive organisational guidance throughout the planning process. A dedicated kick-off meeting will be held in late April / early May 2027, bringing together representatives of the selected host institution, the conference organising committee, FEBS, IUBMB and ENABLE partners to facilitate knowledge transfer and ensure a smooth start to preparations.
Applications are invited from universities and research centres located in countries with a FEBS Constituent Society.
