Many of the FEBS Advanced Courses for 2025 are already open for registration (see the list below). You can also browse the full events list to find additional courses with registration due to open soon or download the FEBS Advanced Courses 2025 poster for an overview. Check each course’s website for details on the program, registration fees, and travel arrangements.
Advanced Courses are organized by expert scientists, on a range of research topics, with funding from FEBS. They comprise lecture courses, workshops, practical courses, and special meetings. Some events are jointly funded with EMBO. FEBS also provides a number of FEBS Youth Travel Fund grants to support the participation of early-career scientists (details on how to apply for these grants are available on each course’s website).
Please help us promote these courses with your teams and peers. For senior researchers interested in organizing a course in 2026, note that the first deadline for proposals is 1 March 2025.
