Welcome to the FEBS Young Scientists’ Forum 2026!
Dear colleagues,
We are happy to invite you to the 25th edition of the FEBS Young Scientists’ Forum (YSF), taking place from July 2nd to 5th, 2026, in the beautiful and picturesque city of Wageningen, the Netherlands. This YSF edition will highlight the importance of interdisciplinary collaborations in science and deliver a diverse and interesting programme.
The YSF 2026 will bring together approximately 100 selected PhD students and early-career postdoctoral researchers from across Europe and beyond. Over the days of the YSF, participants will have the opportunity to:
- Present and discuss their research with peers
- Explore topics across diverse scientific fields
- Attend lectures by leading scientists
- Join workshops, including scientific and soft-skill focused themes
- Network in a social, friendly and supportive setting
Set in Wageningen, a city known for its contributions to life sciences and sustainability, the YSF 2026 is a unique setting for promoting interdisciplinary connections. Following the YSF, participants will continue their scientific journey at the 50th FEBS Congress in Maastricht, one of the biggest bioscience conferences in Europe.
YSF grants will cover YSF participation, Congress registration, accommodation during both events, and most travel expenses. Details on how to apply will be available later on the YSF 2026 Applications page.
We look forward to welcoming you to YSF 2026, where science meets collaboration, and new connections take root.
Kind regards,
The YSF 2026 Organizing Committee
