FEBS Event

3–5 July 2025

Sapanca, Türkiye

The 24th FEBS Young Scientists’ Forum (YSF 2025)

The FEBS Young Scientists’ Forum (YSF) is a popular event for about 100 PhD students and postdocs mostly from the FEBS area that takes place in conjunction with – and just before – the annual FEBS Congress. Selected applicants are supported by FEBS grants. The YSF comprises opportunities for participants to present their own research work, receive career advice, hear and meet keynote lecturers, and enjoy a social programme. YSF participants also go on to experience the FEBS Congress, which is one of the largest gatherings in the biosciences in the area of Europe and neighbouring regions.

The 24th FEBS Young Scientists’ Forum (YSF 2025) will be held in early July 2025, in Sapanca, Türkiye, just ahead of the 49th FEBS Congress in Istanbul.

FEBS Event

29 August – 3 September 2025

Spetses Island, Greece

Functional genomics of metabolic diseases

The 2025 FEBS Advanced Lecture Course ‘Functional genomics of metabolic diseases’ offers a unique meeting opportunity for early career scientists in the fields of functional genomics and metabolic diseases and particularly aims to cross-fertilize the fields. This is essential to understand human disease mechanisms and functional genomics-based discovery and intervention strategies towards personalized medicine.

The event website is under development.

Organizers: Nicolas Venteclef

Spetses Island, Greece

The new microbiology

Spetses Summer Courses are well known for covering various specialized topics within the general field of molecular and cell biology. This FEBS/EMBO Lecture Course is centred on microbiology, which has witnessed a renaissance over the last 20 years. The course will cover different aspects of this “New Microbiology”, including bacterial diversity and evolution, microbial communities and microbiotas, predation and symbiosis, biofilms, host-pathogen interactions, phage biology, bacterial biophysics and cryoelectron tomography.

The event website is under development.

FEBS/EMBO Event

16–19 September 2025

Hanaholmen, Espoo, Finland

Susan Lindquist School on Proteostasis

Cells constantly surveil and monitor their proteins to ensure proper function. These processes, coined under the term proteostasis, span multiple steps from protein synthesis to folding and degradation. Extensive research in recent years has provided molecular insights into the mechanisms underlying proteostasis and its links to conditions such as neurodegeneration and aging.

The 2025 Joint FEBS/EMBO Lecture Course “Susan Lindquist School on Proteostasis” provides a comprehensive overview of past and current work in the proteostasis field to the next generation of scientists. The program includes review lectures, presentations on upcoming science, career development sessions, and numerous opportunities to interact with leaders in the proteostasis field.

The event website is under development. Sign up on the EMBO website here for an alert when the event website is launched.

Organizers: Juha Saarikangas, Anita Krisko, Adrien Rousseau, Elif Karagöz
