FEBS (Federation of European Biochemical Societies) Advanced Course 2026 ‘Biochirality across scales’ 20-22 August 2026 in Nice (France) organized by Agnes Banreti (iValrose), Maximilian Fürthauer (iValrose) Stéphane Noselli (iValrose) Jean-Pierre Mothet MAE (Université Paris-Saclay).

Leading researchers from the fields of chemistry, cellular and molecular biology, physiology, biochemistry, physics, medicine, and mathematics will give lectures on the theme of chirality. The course will provide a comprehensive and timely view of chirality from the macroscopic to the atomic and nanoscale dimensions.

About FEBS Advanced Courses#

FEBS funds a range of focused scientific courses on advanced topics in the molecular life sciences each year at locations across Europe, with the aim of providing research updates, training and networking for researchers working in a similar area. Some courses are jointly funded with EMBO or IUBMB.

FEBS Advanced Courses include lecture courses, workshops, practical courses, and special meetings (see calendar below). The course formats have a strong educational element that makes them especially valuable to PhD students and postdocs; grants are available to support the attendance of early-career scientists at these courses.

About Federation of European Biochemical Societies (FEBS)#

Founded on 1st January 1964, the Federation of European Biochemical Societies (FEBS) has become one of Europe’s largest organizations in the molecular life sciences, with over 30,000 members across 39 biochemistry and molecular biology societies (its ‘Constituent Societies’) in different countries of Europe and neighbouring regions. As a grass-roots organization FEBS thereby provides a voice to a large part of the academic research and teaching community in Europe and beyond.

As a charitable academic organization, FEBS promotes and supports biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, molecular biophysics and related research areas through its journals, Congress, Advanced Courses, Fellowships and other initiatives. There is an emphasis in many programmes on scientific exchange and cooperation between scientists working in different countries, and on promotion of the training of early-career scientists.
