Host the 5th FEBS-IUBMB-ENABLE Conference in 2026: Open call for institutions!

FEBS and IUBMB (the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology) open the call for hosting the 5th FEBS-IUBMB-ENABLE International Molecular Biosciences PhD and Postdoc Conference.
The FEBS-IUBMB-ENABLE Conference is an interdisciplinary, three-day international event organized by and for young researchers in the molecular life sciences. It brings together up to 300 participants from around the world. This conference series began in 2022 as a continuation of the 2017–2020 ENABLE project, funded by the EU H2020 Research and Innovation Programme. We are pleased to invite European molecular life sciences research institutions to host the 5th FEBS-IUBMB-ENABLE Conference in 2026. FEBS and IUBMB provide significant financial support (up to 85,000 EUR) as well as organizational assistance for the event.

The FEBS-IUBMB-ENABLE Conference is unique in that it is organized by a Scientific Committee of young researchers ―PhD students and postdocs― from multiple European institutions. This conference features a variety of sessions, with the scientific symposium being the centrepiece. The symposium highlights the latest research and developments in the field of molecular life sciences. In addition to the symposium, the conference offers a range of activities focused on career development and employment opportunities. These include a career day, interactive career workshops, and a job fair. Public engagement is also a core component, with outreach activities specifically designed to reach targeted audiences. Moreover, these activities provide an excellent training opportunity for PhD students and postdoctoral fellows interested in science communication, equipping them with valuable skills for engaging diverse audiences.
