Out of the FEMS Research and Training Grantees, the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ESCMID) annually selects one grantee for an additional award of € 1000, the FEMS-ESCMID Awardee. Reciprocally, FEMS will provide such additional award to at least one grantee, the ESCMID-FEMS Awardee. These joint fellowships will receive appropriate publicity through both organizations.

We send our congratulations to Dr Blanca Vera-Gargallo from the University of Seville (Spain) who has been selected to be the FEMS-ESCMID awardee for 2022! Blanca will receive an invitation to give a talk in a dedicated session at ECCMID 2022.
