About FEBS3+
The FEBS3+ Meetings Programme was established by FEBS to support scientific meetings equivalent to an annual national scientific meeting of a Constituent Society but organized through cooperation of at least three FEBS Constituent Societies with the aim to increase international collaboration. More information on FEBS3+ meetings in general can be downloaded as a PDF.

FEBS3+ Meeting supported by
Expand your horizon
The ÖGMBT Annual Meeting is one of the most significant scientific events in Austria in the molecular biosciences. Topic wise it is a very broad event, including medical aspects of the life sciences, applied aspects and a diverse set of basic research. It is a good mix of invited international talks and talks by students (all in English), a company trade show including exhibitors quiz and many networking activities.It is a true melting pot bringing together top experts for exchange, showcasing the work of early career researchers, helps the attending students get a notion of the field and allows everyone a look beyond the horizon of their own specialization and shows what is happening in Austria in the field of life sciences. This FEBS3+ meeting part of the annual meeting focuses on Central Europe and is co-shaped by three FEBS member societies from Austria, Czechia and Slovenia:

Wine & Science
Sept 15, 19:00-22:00
The ÖGMBT Annual Meeting is also famous for its “Wine & Science” reception (Tuesday evening, September 15), which is included in the registration fee. This welcome reception is held within the industry exhibition area. The exhibitors bring along wine for tasting with the participants and ÖGMBT takes care of cheese and desserts. There are many wine specialties to taste and we have already counted at one of the tastings about 120 different varieties - but don't worry, there are also non-alcoholic offers ;-) Just join and enjoy the networking!
Walking Tour & Major Reception (FEBS3+ participants only)
Sept 16, 18:00-22:00
More information to be announced here in due time.
Sept 17, 8:45-9:45 - ÖGMBT YLSA - "breakfast" Young Investigator reception (FEBS3+ participants only)
This breakfast reception is a unique opportunity for experienced scientists* to connect with enthusiastic young researchers, share insights and inspire the next generation. On the other hand, young researchers will get the chance to engage with top scientists, learn from their experiences and exchange ideas in a relaxed setting.
Experienced scientists can sign up for participation during registration. Each selected experienced scientist* will then chair a breakfast table with young researchers in the venue cafeteria. Places are limited and require prior registration for the event. Young researchers will have the opportunity to register for the event inside the registration system a few weeks before the annual meeting.
* experienced scientists: PIs, group leaders, professors, staff, senior postdocs, …
Industry Exhibition
Industry Exhibition
The industry exhibition will showcase companies and institutions presenting their products & services for the life sciences community.
Exhibitor Quiz (FEBS3+ participants only)
All meeting attendees can take part in the exhibitor quiz and win prizes. Each participating exhibitor prepared a question and the correct answer can be found at their respective booth confirming. Only quiz sheets with all the correct answers and stamps from every participating booth will be taking into consideration for the lottery drawing of the prizes sponsored by the exhibitors. On Thursday, Sept 17, there will be two prize drawings:
- The first drawing of the less valuable prizes will take place during the last lunch break
- The three winners of the main quiz prizes will be awarded during the closing ceremony
