In 2016 FEBS Education Committee started the idea of FEBS Ambassadors on Education: each national Constituent Society, member of FEBS, may nominate an ambassador, who will participate in joint initiatives to brain-storm and start actions on educational issues across Europe, in order to develop the mission and vision of FEBS on educational issues —to promote education throughout Europe.
