International Sponsored Places: 48th FEBS Congress and 23rd YSF 2024

Each year, the Biochemical Society fully sponsors the attendance of two outstanding postgraduate or early-career members to attend the FEBS Congress and Young Scientists’ Forum (YSF). With a theme of ‘Mining biochemistry for human health and well-being’, the 48th FEBS Congress and 23rd YSF combined research presentations, education-oriented sessions and biochemistry-related economic discussions to showcase the newest developments in health, human well-being and biotechnology. Providing an incredible opportunity to make connections with European colleagues and discuss research with an international audience, we were delighted to offer International Sponsored Places to Emma Ryder (University of Leeds, UK) and Anna Carberry (University of St Andrews, UK) in 2024. Here, Emma and Anna discuss their experiences at this year’s meetings and highlight the valuable networking and interactions developed as a result of their participation.
