FEMS Member Societies are national microbiology societies, so the barrier is society membership rather than nationality. You must also be a presenting author, oral or poster, at the meeting. Periods of maternity or paternity leave, special leave or illness do not count towards the five years. Applications to attend FEMS-sponsored meetings are not considered here; ask the meeting organiser instead.
