Get ready to celebrate excellence in microbiology research as we proudly announce the winners of the FEMS Journals Article Awards for 2023! These awards recognize the outstanding contributions of researchers who have pushed the boundaries of knowledge in the field of microbiology.

Join us as we showcase the remarkable achievements of these scientists. All authors who published in the FEMS Journals in 2023 were automatically considered for an award upon submission of their papers. The Editors-in-Chief and Editorial Boards of each journal select their best article and award €1,000 split equally between all the authors of the winning paper. The prize money is funded by the income we receive from our journals.

Our congratulations go to the winners of the FEMS Journals Article Awards for 2023:

Join Our Thriving Microbiology Community

The FEMS journals are run by microbiologists, and for microbiologists. Every article published by us has been rigorously reviewed for soundness of science by our community of academic peer reviewers – and any surplus revenue generated by the not-for-profit journals goes directly into supporting the microbiology community.
