Greetings
From welcoming a record number of attendees from around the world to FEMS
2017 in Valencia to celebrating the 40th anniversary of FEMS Microbiology
Letters to introducing new faces to the FEMS family, 2017 has been a
spectacularly exciting year. It’s marked a year of change as we have continued
to build on the solid foundations of our activities - our five journals, biennial
Congress and extensive grants and awards programme - to maximize the
impact of microbiology across Europe and beyond. Warmest wishes for a
wonderful holiday season and a
very happy New Year from all of
us here at FEMS!
We look forward to another
fantastic year in 2018.
In this final newletter of the year, we look back at the best of 2017 and thank
every single one of you for getting involved in putting microbiology on the map.
