Arkiv Oslo Upcoming Events Archives

As part of our societal remit, the FEBS Science and Society Committee runs a science and society session at the FEBS Congress, which in 2019 explored the topic of personalised medicine. The committee would like to build on this and reach a wider audience and to this end here announces a call for proposals from FEBS Constituent Societies to run a science in society event or activity under the same theme.
The exact format of the event/activity is up to the organizing society and we would like to support a range of activities from speaker events to educational activities, including for public engagement on this issue.
Up to €2000 is available from FEBS to support this activity. Events or activities which involve more than one FEBS Constituent Society or which enable the sharing of an activity across FEBS Constituent Societies are encouraged.

Further guidelines

The funds from FEBS in support of an event can be used to cover venue costs, printing/publishing/creating material for an event/activity, rail/air ticket and accommodation (if required) of invited speaker(s), and lunch/ dinner for the invited speaker(s), organizers and the Chair of the Constituent Society.
FEBS support must be noted on all publicity and at the start and end of the event/activity.
Applications must come from or be endorsed by the Constituent Society and are limited to one application per FEBS Constituent Society.
All materials arising from the activity (for example for educational activities or public outreach) must be made freely available for other FEBS Constituent Societies to use.
A further condition of funding is the writing of a short report or blog post on your event/activity, which FEBS may like to use on the FEBS Network or in other publicity.

Societies who wish to apply should submit a 1-page (A4) outline of their event/activity along with the proposed budget by 11th October 2019. Please send this to Mark Roberts of the FEBS Science and Society Committee at [email protected]

Editor-in-Chief FEBS Open Bio

27.08.2019/in Arkiv Oslo Upcoming Events, NBS-Nytt/by NBS

FEBS Press is seeking to appoint an Editor-in-Chief for the open access journal FEBS Open Bio. Launched in December 2011, FEBS Open Bio is one of four journals owned
by the Federation of European Biochemical Societies (FEBS). The journal’s rigorous peer review process focusses on the technical and ethical quality of papers, rather
than objective judgements of significance. This is a new appointment; the current Executive Editor duties will be divided between the Editor-in-Chief and a full-time
Editorial Manager.

Duties

Act as an ambassador for the journal to the scientific community The Editor-inChief (EIC) will actively promote the journal, through interactions with the scientific
community, through editorials in the journal, and by representing the journal at public meetings. The EIC will work with the journal staff and the journal’s publishing
partner to develop marketing strategies.
Set the journal strategy The EIC, with the Editorial Board, will determine the nature and scope of the journal, propose new features and article types, and improvements
to journal procedures to attract new submissions. The EIC will work with the journal staff and the journal’s publishing partner to set objectives and strategies for the
journal. The EIC will present major proposed changes to the FEBS Publications Committee for discussion and approval.
Lead the editor selection process The EIC will work with the journal staff to identify candidates for the Editorial Board, and to propose new members to the Publications
Committee for their approval.
Take ethics decisions The EIC will uphold the ethics policies of FEBS Press and work with journal staff and editorial board members to resolve any ethical issues that
arise when handling manuscripts for publication in the journal. Ethical matters may involve, but are not limited to, data integrity, plagiarism, authorship disputes or
conflicts of interest.
Review and contribute to periodic monitoring reports The EIC will review monthly and annual reports on journal performance prepared by the journal staff and
present this information to the annual meeting of the Publications Committee.
Conduct and attend meetings The EIC will chair meetings of the Editorial Board at which the performance of the journal will be reviewed, and ideas gathered for
improvements to the journal. The EIC will also be required to attend the annual meeting of the Publications Committee and the FEBS Congress.

Characteristics

An international reputation as an outstanding researcher in molecular life sciences.
A demonstrated commitment to participation in academic peer review.
The ability to work diplomatically with authors, reviewers and editors.
The energy and dedication to find time to meet journal deadlines on a regular (nearly daily) basis for the next 5 years.

To apply

Send:

Your CV.
A disclosure of any potential conflicts of interest, such as industry relationships or editorial board membership of other journals.
An outline of your vision for the journal.

To: László Fésüs (chairman of FEBS Publications Committee, [email protected]), cc’ed to Tom Kingsnorth (FEBS Chief Administrator, [email protected])

Deadline for applications: September 23, 2019

Questions about the journal should be addressed to Mary Purton (Executive Editor, [email protected])
