1. Open call for Constituent Societies for FEBS-IUBMB-ENABLE Scientific Organising Committee members
FEBS is inviting Constituent Societies to nominate one of their young members (PhD student or early-career postdoc) to join the Scientific Organizing Committee (SOC) of the 2026 FEBS-IUBMB-ENABLE PhD and Postdoc Conference! This is a unique opportunity for young scientists to help shape an international conference, gain experience in scientific event planning, and connect with researchers from across the world.
The 2026 FEBS-IUBMB-ENABLE Conference will take place in Krakow, Poland, in November 2026, hosted by the Faculty of Biochemistry, Biophysics and Biotechnology at Jagiellonian University. The new SOC will kick off its work with an in-person meeting in Krakow in late May/early June 2025.
Who can apply? Early-stage PhD students (preferably first- or second-year) and postdocs with at least two years remaining on their contract who are members of a FEBS Constituent Society.
What will selected candidates do? Contribute to the scientific program, speaker invitations, communication, sponsorship efforts, and event organization.
How to apply? National Societies can submit their nominations by 23 April 2025 by completing the attached form. Only one nomination can be submitted per Society.
