The FEBS National Lecturers were established to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Federation of European Biochemical Societies. These FEBS National Lecturers are intended as Plenary Lectures. FEBS National Lectures Awards recognize the achievements of distinguished scientists with significant international reputations while at the same time enhancing national scientific meetings of FEBS Constituent Societies by supporting travel costs for such speakers. Starting from 2015, the FEBS National Lecturer is presented with an engraved glass award at the meeting.

An application proposing a maximum of two candidates for the FEBS National Lecturer, including short Curricula Vitae and with full details of the event, shall be sent to the FEBS Congress Counsellor.  The deadline for applications  is 1 October of the preceding year. The application is evaluated by the Executive Committee members of FEBS and awarded within 2 months of receipt of the application.
