2. Consultations and Community Inputs –The Future of Microbiology
FEMS Highlights and Achievements
The Federation of European Microbiological Societies was formed in 1974 to enable scientific interaction and collaboration across Europe.
In 2014 we introduced our strategic framework to explicitly include stakeholders beyond research.
André Michel Lwoff, first President of FEMS
Slide 17
FEMS Highlights and Achievements
A lot has changed since FEMS was formed in 1974, although our purpose is still to enable scientific interaction; encourage scientific excellence and develop leaders. Between now and our 50th anniversary in 2024, we want to think about what microbiology can achieve in the future. And, based around the FEMS strategic framework, how our activities can contribute.
Slide 18
FEMS Current Publication Portfolio
There have been a number of changes, developments and challenges to the traditional scientific publishing landscape. Different business models, issues of the decline in traditional journal subscriptions and reducing number of peer reviewers per author. We are reviewing how we meet these challenges in a variety of ways.
• Given our current programme and the challenges we’re facing in publications and science how can scientific publishing contribute?
• We are seeking input from our membership on our 2024 goals and how the journals can best contribute to them.
Slide 19
FEMS group discussion
We have organized 6 groups to each discuss an aspect of the future of scholarly publication. First, propose 3 potential goals for FEMS and microbiology in 2024 and consider the role of publications in delivering these with respect to:
• Scientific excellence
• Impact (Society)
• Impact (Environment)
• Leadership
• Sustainability ($)
• Reputation
