2. J EUROMAT series
1992: FEMS Junior Euromat Conference series started at University in
Lausanne, Switzerland and is organised since then every two years.
• FEMS Junior Euromat allows young scientists to present their
research of Master, PhD or other research work mainly as Poster.
2016: this edition will take place at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de
Lausanne (EPFL) and also organised directly by EPFL and FEMS.
• The 2016 edition, hosting three parallel sessions, gives enough space
to oral presentations, besides the Poster sessions.
