The annual FEBS congress is one of the most visible activities of FEBS. As one of the largest bio-conferences in Europe, attracting up to 2000 participants, the congress provides a platform for international scientific exchange and showcases the latest developments in biochemistry, molecular biology, and related fields. The congress includes inspiring plenary lectures presented by leading scientists, a series of specialized symposia diving deep into various areas of bioscientific research, extensive poster presentations, as well as engaging workshops and other activities on related topics. It also serves as a celebration of achievements, with various FEBS medals and awards being presented. FEBS congresses are a collaboration between FEBS and one or more of its affiliated societies, relocating annually to a different venue within the FEBS area.
