All but one of the FEMS journals are fully open access (OA), with one journal, FEMS Microbiology Letters, offers 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.
