The 25th FEBS Young Scientists’ Forum (‘YSF 2026’), a satellite meeting of the 50th FEBS Congress, will bring together in Wageningen around 100 talented postdocs and PhD students from FEBS countries who are working in the molecular and cellular life sciences. Participants will be able to meet up in a friendly international atmosphere for lectures from keynote speakers, short talks and posters from YSF attendees, sessions supporting scientific career development, and a social programme. YSF participants will then move on to also experience the larger 50th FEBS Congress in Maastricht.
