   Istanbul awaits: Are you ready for the big FEBS event of the year?
  4th FEBS-IUBMB-ENABLE Conference Final chance to apply for travel grants and oral presentations! Don’t miss your opportunity to join the 4th FEBS-IUBMB-ENABLE International Molecular Biosciences PhD and Postdoc Conference, taking place in Glasgow (UK) on 10–12 September 2025 under the theme “Bridging minds – Interdisciplinary research for the future of life sciences.” This unique event—organized by and for PhD students and postdocs—will bring together up to 300 young researchers for three days of cutting-edge science, career development, and outreach. Early bird registration has been extended, and the new deadline to apply for travel grants and submit abstracts for oral presentations is 30 June 2025. Travel grants of GBP 300 are available for young members of FEBS Constituent Societies. Don’t miss this chance to present your work, boost your career prospects, and connect with peers from around the world.   The deadline for the FEBS Excellence Awards is fast approaching! The Excellence Awards are intended to support research projects in the molecular life sciences from early-career group leaders. They are granted over three years and amount to €100,000. The FEBS Excellence Award is a support to be used exclusively to purchase small equipment (for a maximum of €15,000 in total) and/or consumables related to the project; salaries, stipendia and overheads cannot be paid for by the Award. Applications deadline: 1 July 2025   FEBS Press is proud to serve the scientific community not only by publishing outstanding research, but also by engaging with scientists worldwide. Here are some of our newest projects. Publishing Liaison Officers We are excited to announce the launch of the Publishing Liaison Officer (PLO) role, a new initiative in FEBS Open Bio to bridge the gap between the journal and the scientific community. PLOs will serve as journal ambassadors and publishing advisors, and we are pleased to welcome our newly recruited PLOs to the team: • Johnathan Canton (University of Calgary, Canada) • Karla L.H. Feijs-Žaja (RWTH Aachen University, Germany) • Kyungtae Lim (Korea University, South Korea) • Shoichi Sakaguchi (Osaka Medical and Pharmaceutical University, Japan) • Tamara Saksida (University of Belgrade, Serbia) • Pierre Santucci (CNRS Aix-Marseille Université, France) Junior Ambassador Program We are also pleased to introduce the new figure of FEBS Press Junior Ambassador, a member of the FEBS Junior Section who will gain insights into our journals and help promote them among peers.
