The 50th FEBS Congress, hosted by the Netherlands Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (NVBMB), will be held 4–8 July 2026 in Maastricht, the Netherlands.
Alongside the exciting invited speaker programme of this milestone edition of the FEBS Congress, there are also opportunities to present your work as a poster, short talk or speed talk. A wide range of topics across the molecular and cellular life sciences are available for abstract submission.
Posters: Posters are an important part of the FEBS Congress, often reporting some of the most up-to-date research at the event and a very useful aid for networking and discussing findings with others interested in the same questions or approaches. Posters will be presented in dedicated sessions, and poster prizes will be awarded by the four journals of FEBS Press.
Talks: Selected from abstract submissions, participants reporting particularly interesting, significant or relevant research may be invited to contribute short talks of 10–15 minutes integrated into the symposia sessions, or speed talks of 3 minutes in dedicated speed talk sessions. Speed talk speakers will also present posters at the event.
Abstracts accepted for the 50th FEBS Congress will be published in an online supplement of the journal FEBS Open Bio.
13 February 2026 is a key date in the build up to the event. Submit your abstract by this date for consideration for talks and to benefit from the early registration fee. Applications for FEBS bursaries and the FEBS Sprinzl scheme are also due by this deadline.
