FEBS, the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB) and the research institutes of ENABLE are now inviting applications from academic institutions to host the FEBS-IUBMB-ENABLE 2023 Conference in November 2023 and the 2024 Conference in November 2024. FEBS and IUBMB will fund the event up to a sum of €65,000 as well as provide some additional funds to cover the cost of planning meetings before the event .
We are looking for academic institutions (universities or research institutions) with a strong research background in in molecular life sciences and an active PhD community. The event will be organized by PhD and postdoctoral students, so it is a unique opportunity to immerse young researchers in organizational and project management skills, allowing them to gain valuable experience.
