International Sponsored Places: 47th FEBS Congress and 22nd Young Scientists’ Forum 2023

Abstract

Each year, the Biochemical Society fully sponsors the attendance of two outstanding postgraduate or early career members to attend the Federation of European Biochemical Societies (FEBS) Congress and Young Scientists’ Forum (YSF). With a theme of ‘Together in bioscience for a better future’, the 47th FEBS Congress and 22nd YSF combined research presentations, general talks and practical career exercises to showcase the newest developments in biochemistry, molecular biology and related areas. Providing an incredible opportunity to make connections with European colleagues and discuss research with an international audience, we were delighted to offer International Sponsored Places to Dr Yang Li (University College London, UK) and Dr Ewa Blaszczak (Medical University of Lublin, Poland) in 2023. Here, Yang and Ewa discuss their experiences at this year’s meetings and highlight the valuable networking and interactions developed as a result of their participation.
