Three New FEMS Ambassadors
We have commenced the creation of a network of honorary FEMS
Ambassadors working in non-European countries. These Ambassadors will
help to promote our mission, vision, and activities of spreading microbiology
knowledge, and connecting microbiologists and microbiological societies
for benefit of humankind.
The FEMS Director of Events & Internationalization, Vaso Taleski, invited
the first three new FEMS Ambassadors on behalf of the FEMS Board of
Directors and we are delighted that all three accepted, and have been
appointed. All are experienced microbiologists, of recognized standing in
their microbiology community, who can act as advocates for FEMS beyond
the existing European network. All are invited to attend the FEMS2019
Congress in Glasgow (7-11 July).
The three new ambassadors represent the nation states of China, Japan,
and South Korea for a period of 3 years:

Laboratory of Bioreactor Engineering, School of
Biotechnology, East China University of Science
and Technology. He is also Part-time Professor
