Our Team
The Federation of European Microbiological Societies (FEMS) is governed by a Council of Member Society Representatives (Delegates) and the FEMS Board.
The FEMS Team runs its operations from The Netherlands. The FEMS Council meets annually with participants consisting of Delegates from all Member Societies, alongside Trustees of the Board.
FEMS Journals and Open Access
All but one of the FEMS journals are fully open access (OA), with one journal, FEMS Microbiology Letters, offering 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.
