COVID-19 Update:

The safety and welfare of our attendees and staff  is our top priority. Consequently, FEMS has cancelled this year’s Summer School for postdocs because of the SARS-CoV2/COVID-19 pandemic. We will be holding the event again in 2021.

Introduction

The FEMS Summer School for Postdocs will recognize 25 of the most talented and promising researchers from across the world – with spaces reserved for 15-20 European and 5-10 non-European students.  It is designed to support personal and professional development through 10 days of close work with top scientists, and to enable and encourage research collaboration across all fields of Microbiology. The outcomes will be to advance your scientific knowledge and enhance your research career.

The content of the Summer School for 2020 will be focused on the following theme:

Microbial Evolvability Mechanisms: Resistance, Biology, and Strategies to Defeat and Detect

The Summer School presents a unique opportunity for early career scientists to receive instruction and supervision from prominent academics, collaborate and network with fellow researchers from an international range of countries, and to discuss their own work as well as wider aspects of being a scientist.
