The four FEBS Press journals are proud to be able to support early career researchers through sponsorship of poster prizes at key scientific meetings across Europe and beyond. These prizes recognise, reward, and inspire the excellent and innovative research being performed by early career researchers; here, we would like to highlight some recent recipients of the FEBS Open Bio poster and speed talk prizes, and extend our congratulations to all past and future winners.
