Dear Molecular Life Sciences Educators and Trainers,
We are excited to announce the first-ever Molecular Life Sciences Education and Training Conference in Europe, on March 20-23, 2024, organized by FEBS. This three-day event will be held in Antalya, Türkiye, and will bring together senior and junior scientists from all over the world to share their expertise and learn from each other.
The conference will feature a variety of activities, including but not limited to;
plenary talks - groundbreaking discussions led by distinguished plenary speakers
hands-on workshops – because the best learning happens when you're elbows-deep in the action!
meet the expert – dedicated to bolstering both faculty development and the soft skills training of our next-gen scientists
certification opportunities - elevate your CV and LinkedIn profile! Yes, we're making both your brain and resume look greater! These certifications will demonstrate your commitment to excellence in molecular life sciences education and training
poster and oral presentations – because we want to learn about your journey as well!
networking opportunities - build bonds stronger than hydrogen bonds! Forge valuable connections, engage in spirited discussions, and collaboratively envision the future of molecular life sciences education
light-hearted learning - expect more than a few chuckles as we weave humor into education. After all, a laughing brain is a learning brain!
We know that you are busy, and that you may be hesitant to take the time to attend a conference. Think of this conference as a starter pack to turbocharge your education role in molecular life sciences. Whether you're an educator aiming to rekindle your teaching flame, or a newbie eager to dip your toes into the world of education, there's something here for everyone. Because this event is an opportunity for you to learn from the best and brightest in the field, and to network with other educators and trainers who are passionate about making a difference in the lives of their students.
We urge you to register for the conference today. It will be an experience that you will never forget. Come to gather, share, learn, and shape the next era of molecular life sciences education!
Here are some additional reasons why you should attend the conference:
Let's stand together, shoulder to shoulder, to elevate and reshape the way we perceive, teach, and advance molecular life sciences.
Join us in Antalya, and let's co-create the future. Your journey, your insights, and your expertise are the essence that will make this conference truly transformative.
So, pack your luggage and your zest for knowledge. Let's converge in Antalya, where the sun meets science, and where your next big "Eureka!" moment awaits.
Warmly,
P.S. If you are still hesitating, here is one last reason to attend: the food in Antalya is amazing!

About
FEBS Education and Training Conference
This conference has 3 pillars: Innovate, Educate, Empower.png)
Explore and Innovate
Share your cutting-edge research in education, teaching methodologies, and innovative approaches to molecular life sciences education. Be part of shaping the future of this fascinating field.
Educate and Elevate
Inspire your peers and scientists by showcasing your educational experiences and success stories. Contribute to the growth of a strong, knowledgeable community appreciating good practices.
Empower and Connect
Network with like-minded professionals, build collaborations, and leave with newfound inspiration and determination to make a difference in the world of Molecular Life Sciences.
FEBS Education Committee
The FEBS Education Committee has the mission of promoting biochemistry and molecular biology education and training at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Thus, increasing the knowledge and skills of educators, encouraging the development of innovative teaching methods and educational resources, and sharing good education policies and practices are the main aims of the committee.
To realize these objectives, the FEBS Education Committee organizes and funds educational events to advance teaching, training and learning in the molecular life sciences. These include FEBS Education Committee Seasonal Webinars, FEBS Education Workshops organized with constituent FEBS societies, FEBS-sponsored Ambassador Education Events, education activities at the FEBS Congresses as well as events run jointly with FEBS bodies such as the Advanced Courses Committee, the Careers of Young Scientists Committee, and the Integration Committee. Upcoming and recent events of the Education and Traning Committee are listed here.
FEBS Education Committee also oversees the Education Section of the FEBS OpenBio. One section of the FEBS Network is dedicated to blog-style posts on teaching approaches and resources for lecturers and tutors in the molecular life sciences, as well as announcements on education activities.
Launched in 2016, FEBS Education Ambassadors is a unique structure in which FEBS Constituent Societies have one appointed member as a representative. The main aim of this initiative is to improve and promote molecular life sciences education through the networking and collaborations of Education Ambassadors and their FEBS Constituent Societies. The first FEBS Education Ambassadors Meeting was organized in 2016, at Prague. Following were the Ambassadors meetings in 2017 (Paris), 2018 (Zagreb), 2019 (Tbilisi), 2021 (Virtual), 2022 (Izmir) and 2023 (Vilnius). In addition to providing a supportive community of educators and a forum for sharing approaches and experiences from different countries, the initiative has at times focused on specific topics via small group work, for example in defining key knowledge and skills expected for molecular life sciences graduate.

FEBS
Federation of European Biochemical Societies (FEBS) is a charity that has 39 ‘Constituent Societies’ from across Europe and neighbouring regions. The objectives of FEBS are to contribute to and promote the advancement of research and education for the public benefit in the sciences of biochemistry, molecular biology and related disciplines…by all suitable means and in particular by:
- holding and arranging congresses, training and educational courses on matters connected with biochemistry and molecular biology and related disciplines;
- facilitating and supporting the exchange of scientific information between biochemists, molecular biologists and scientists working in related disciplines generally and especially in Europe and other countries of Constituent Societies;
- facilitating and supporting the training of young scientists in research, in the form of fellowships; and
- organising the editing and publication of scientific research and educational material in biochemistry and molecular biology and related disciplines.
As a major European ‘umbrella’ organization, FEBS is nurturing various collaborations with other organizations in Europe and worldwide in order to advance research and teaching of molecular life sciences.
Naturally, FEBS collaborates with its Constituent Societies in support for molecular life science meetings across Europe and neighbouring regions (e.g. FEBS Congress, FEBS education workshops, FEBS National Lectures, FEBS3+ Meetings) as well as through providing extensive support for members of the Constituent Societies, particularly early-career scientists. With the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) FEBS funds certain joint Advanced Courses and the FEBS | EMBO Women in Science Award. FEBS is a member of the BioMed Alliance, whose goals include advancing biomedical research in Europe.
Molecular life science research is a global activity. Journals from FEBS publish papers from researchers working across the world, often with collaboration between scientists in different countries and continents. The FEBS Congress and Advanced Courses programme attract participants from well beyond the European FEBS region. With these global considerations in mind, FEBS has long held close ties with the International Union for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB), of which FEBS is the European regional member, and is also developing links with learned societies in the molecular life sciences in regions with emerging interest, investment and output in this area of research.
