FEBS Open Bio Poster Award
FEBS Open Bio is an open access journal owned by the Federation of European Biochemical Societies (FEBS) and published by Wiley. FEBS is a charity whose objectives are to promote research and education in the Life Sciences. The journal is sponsoring a FEBS Open Bio poster prize of €200. A panel of jurors will view shortlisted posters at the event and talk to the presenters. The jurors will be looking for high-quality and exciting unpublished or recently published research in the area of the interface between structure and function of macromolecules and their complexes, presented in a clear and appealing manner.
