The Federation of European Biochemical Societies (FEBS) is thrilled to announce the FEBS Research Academy, a prestigious body which will advance FEBS initiatives to foster scientific excellence and innovation, support the next generation of researchers, and strengthen the international voice of science.

Bringing together leading scientists from 24 countries across Europe and beyond, the FEBS Research Academy has been established as an international scientific excellence body to guide FEBS activities that advance research, collaboration and innovation in molecular life sciences and cross-disciplinary fields, particularly in areas where scientific evidence is essential to address societal challenges.

Following a careful selection by the FEBS Research Academy Election Committee, the FEBS Council confirmed the appointment of the 100 Founding Members, comprising 54 Full Members, 4 Associate Members and 42 Honorary Members, including 28 Nobel Prize Laureates 🏅 (indicated with the medal symbol below). The Founding Members are listed below.

We will share additional information about the FEBS Research Academy and its activities in the coming months. FEBS will host a dedicated ceremony to mark the launch of the FEBS Research Academy at the next FEBS Congress, which will take place in Riga, Latvia, from 3 to 7 July 2027.

FEBS congratulates the Founding Members of the FEBS Research Academy on their appointments and extends its appreciation to these leading scientists for their support of FEBS and their outstanding contributions to science.
