Federation of European Microbiological Societies

Federation of European Microbiological Societies (FEMS) is an international European scientific organization, formed by the union of a number of national organizations; there are now 57 members from 41 European countries, regular and provisional. Members can apply for fellowships, grants and/or support when organising a meeting. FEMS facilitates exchange of scientific knowledge to all microbiologists in Europe and worldwide by publishing seven microbiology journals and organising a biennial congress for microbiologists around the world. It also initiates campaigns such as the European Academy of Microbiology (EAM).

Since 1977, it has been the sponsor of ''FEMS Microbiology Letters'', a single journal. Now, FEMS publishes seven journals:

* ''FEMS Microbiology Ecology'' * ''FEMS Microbiology Reviews'' * ''FEMS Microbiology Letters'' * ''FEMS Yeast Research'' * ''Pathogens and Disease'' a journal preceded by ''FEMS Immunology and Medical Microbiology'' * ''FEMS Microbes'' * ''FEMS microLife''

Originally published for the Society by Elsevier, then by Wiley-Blackwell, they are now published by Oxford University Press. Provided by Wikipedia
