New FEBS Committee and Working Group members starting 2021

FEBS is governed by a Council consisting of one delegate from each of its Member Societies, and also the members of the FEBS Executive Committee. The FEBS Council elects the members of the FEBS Executive Committee, as well as the members of other FEBS Committee and Working Groups (overseeing different areas of FEBS activities), for fixed terms.

The FEBS Council normally meets annually at the FEBS Congress. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the 2020 (60th) FEBS Council meeting was held online on 16 October 2020.
