FEBS launched a prestigious new programme in 2021 aimed at supporting highly competitive research in molecular life sciences: the FEBS Excellence Awards.
The FEBS Excellence Awards provide €100,000 funding over three years to early-career group leaders working in a FEBS country to purchase laboratory equipment and consumables.
The first call closed in September 2021. Following the assessment by the FEBS Fellowships Committee of many excellent applications, FEBS is pleased to announce here the researchers selected to receive a FEBS Excellence award from this inaugural 2021 call. We congratulate the awardees on their selection and wish them success in their research endeavours!
