FEMS advances the microbiology community through magnifying microbial impact. We are built up from a network connecting over 50 Member Societies from 40 countries and representing more than 30,000 individual microbiologists. As a UK-registered charity and not-for-profit organisation, FEMS is led by passionate microbiologists who volunteer their time, and supported by a professional team based in the Netherlands.

The FEMS journals are run by microbiologists, and for microbiologists. Every article published by us has been rigorously reviewed for soundness of science by our community of academic peer reviewers – and the not-for-profit journals support the microbiology community.
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.
