FEMS (Federation of European Microbiological Societies)

FEMS (Federation of European Microbiological Societies) is an international organization that brings together microbiologists—scientists who study tiny organisms like bacteria, fungi, and viruses—primarily from Europe. Its goal is to support research, education, and communication in microbiology to improve understanding of microbes and their impact on health, industry, and the environment. FEMS organizes conferences, publishes scientific journals, and fosters collaboration among scientists to advance microbiological knowledge and address global challenges such as infectious diseases and environmental sustainability.
