FEMS (Federation of European Microbiological Societies) is focused on promoting excellence and equality in science, specifically in the field of microbiology. It aims to contribute to solving societal issues through funding research, publishing scholarly journals, organizing cooperative projects, and partnering with various organizations.
The Meeting Attendance Grants provided by FEMS are designed to support the goals of promoting excellence and equality in science by facilitating the participation of researchers in scientific meetings. These grants specifically aim to enable scientists, especially those early in their careers or from less-represented regions, to attend conferences and meetings that are relevant to microbiology, thereby contributing to their professional development and fostering a more inclusive scientific community.
