Member Societies
Our Member Societies serve the microbiology community through uplifting their members, encouraging professional development, and stimulating scientific research and collaboration.
Microbiological societies can apply to become a FEMS Member Society. If you are a member of a FEMS Member Society, then your Society can pass on the unique benefits of FEMS Membership to you.

FEMS Member Societies
Currently, we have one Affiliated Organization, the European Culture Collections’ Organisation. Please note that if you are a member of a Affiliated Organization, you are partially eligible for FEMS membership benefits, as described here.
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. All but one of the not-for-profit FEMS journals are fully open access (OA), with one journal, FEMS Microbiology Letters, offering free-to-publish and OA options.
