Our Team
The Federation of European Microbiological Societies (FEMS) is governed by a Council of Member Society Representatives (Delegates) and a Board of Directors.
The FEMS Team runs its operations from Delft, The Netherlands. The FEMS Council meets annually with participants consisting of Delegates from all Member Societies, alongside officers of the Board of Directors (pictured above: Council members, Directors and staff at the Council meeting 2023 in Vienna).
All but one of the FEMS journals are now fully open access (OA), with one journal, FEMS Microbiology Letters remaining a subscription journal with free-to-publish and OA options. Open access is key to supporting the FEMS mission of disseminating high quality research as widely as possible: when high quality, peer reviewed sound science is open access, anyone, anywhere in the world with an internet connection, can read it.
