Abstract Topics

Play an active part in the scientific programme by presenting your work at the 49th FEBS Congress! 

Submissions of abstracts for oral and poster presentations across the spectrum of the molecular life sciences are welcome after registration and abstract submission open in November 2024.  Abstracts submitted by the 13 March 2025 deadline can be considered for Short Talks and Speed Talks integrated into the event's Symposia, as well as poster presentations. Accepted abstracts will be displayed on the Congress website and app, and collated in an online supplement of FEBS Open Bio. Read the Call for Abstracts page for the full guidelines.

During abstract submission, please select one topic from the categories below that best describes the content of your abstract: topics will be used for reviewing and indexing purposes, and assignment of oral presentations and poster display at the event.
