Worldwide Lectures

Molecular life science research is a global activity. Journals from FEBS publish papers from researchers working across the world, often with collaboration between scientists in different countries and continents. Moreover, our journals are receiving increased article submissions from Asia and other emerging economies. Subscribers to our journals are also scattered around the globe, and the journals' open access options and schemes for literature access by developing countries help to ensure ever-increasing worldwide readership. Independently, the FEBS annual Congress and Advanced Courses programme attract participants from well beyond the European FEBS region, and our Fellowships programme is open to FEBS members of all nationalities working in the FEBS area.

With these global considerations in mind, FEBS has long held close ties with the International Union for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB), and is also developing links with learned societies in the molecular life sciences in regions with emerging interest, investment and output in this area of research – including the Society of Biological Chemists (India) (SBCI), the Chinese Society for Cell Biology (CSCB), the Chinese Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (CSBMB), the Federation of Asian and Oceanian Biochemists and Molecular Biologists (FAOBMB), the PanAmerican Association for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (PABMB), the Brazilian Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Society (SBBq), and the Federation of African Societies of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (FASBMB). In particular, FEBS contributes to the quality and range of research communication and education at large scientific meetings of such societies by funding transcontinental travel of distinguished speakers. The sponsored lectures also provide opportunities to raise awareness of the journals of FEBS among potential contributors and readers, as well as of other FEBS activities.
