Mission & Interests
Goals: FEMS is made up of an active and diverse network of around 30,000 professionals who are committed to advancing microbiology for the benefit of society in the areas of health, energy, food, materials, and the environment. Set up in 1974, today we are a growing coalition of 56 Member Societies from 38 countries. Around half of those in our network are early career researchers, and others are business partners, scientists or campaigners.
Our main goals are to benefit microbiology in Europe and across the world through research, networking, education and outreach; and to help our Member Societies serve the microbiology community.
Since 2019, FEMS has a new core area of activities on 'policy', aiming at allowing our members to enter in a dialogue with policymakers, to have an impact at national and EU level, and at offering policymakers access to a network of experts in microbiology.
