About IUBMB

The International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB) – founded in 1955 – unites biochemists and molecular biologists in 76 countries and regions that belong to the Union as an Adhering Body or Associate Adhering Body represented by a biochemical society, a national research council or an academy of sciences. The IUBMB is devoted to promoting research and education in biochemistry and molecular biology throughout the world and gives particular attention to providing opportunities to students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior investigators to advance their training. It achieves this by offering numerous fellowships for research, education, internships, and meetings, as well as providing leadership opportunities to trainees through the IUBMB Trainee Initiative.

About FEBS

Founded on 1st January 1964, The Federation of European Biochemical Societies (FEBS) encompasses thousands of members across more than 39 biochemistry and molecular biology societies (its 'Constituent Societies') in different countries of Europe and neighbouring regions. As a grass-roots organization FEBS thereby provides a voice to a large part of the academic research and teaching community in Europe and beyond.

As a charity, FEBS promotes and supports biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, molecular biophysics and related research areas through its journals, Congress, Advanced Courses, Fellowships and other initiatives. There is an emphasis in many programmes on scientific exchange and cooperation between scientists working in different countries, and on promotion of the training of early-career scientists.
