Member Societies
Our Member Societies serve the microbiology community through providing resources, building capacity, and stimulating collaboration. Microbiological societies can apply to become a FEMS Member Society, but individuals can apply to become a member of a FEMS Member Society. If you are a member of one of our Member Societies, then your Society can pass on the unique member benefits to your membership by being a part of FEMS.

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.
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.
