At FEMS, we aim to recognize academic achievement and superior research
accomplishments through our awards. Nominations for three of our awards are
now open, the FEMS-Lwoff Award, the FEMS-Jensen Award, and the ASM-FEMS
Mäkelä-Cassell travel Award for Early-Career Scientists.
Launched in 2000, the FEMS-Lwoff award rewards those that create high quality
knowledge that helps to solve today’s societal problems around microbiology. It
was named in honour of the 1st FEMS President (1974-1976), Prof. André M. Lwoff.
In 2019, the awardee was Pascale Cossart. Everyone in the field of microbiology
(societies, groups, or individuals) may make a nomination. The winner will be
presented with the award at our FEMS2021
Congress and will give a prize lecture. Deadline for
nominations: Mar. 10, 2020
