The Working Group on the Career of Young Scientists was established in 2001. Inspired by the initiative performed for many years by the French Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, in 2001 FEBS set up a Forum dedicated to young scientists that was attached to the annual Congress. The organisation of the annual Young Scientists' Forum (YSF) is the key activity of this Working Group.

The basic idea of the FEBS YSF is to promote interactions between young scientists in the pre-doctoral and early post-doctoral stages, and also to give them the opportunity to be responsible for the organisation of the event. Each year the local organisation is run by students in the Congress host country. Usually 100 young scientists are selected to participate in the Forum, which takes place immediately before the annual Congress in a relaxing and informal atmosphere, where these students can make friends, interact and exchange ideas.

Prof. Claudina Rodrigues-Pousada was elected by the FEBS Council in Warsaw, 2004 as Chair of the Working Group and subsequently supervised the YSFs in  2005 (30th FEBS Congress), Istanbul, 2006 (31st FEBS Congress) and Vienna, 2007; then, after re-elected, she has supervised the YSF in Torino, 2011 (36th FEBS Congress) and the YSP/12thYSF in Costa Ballena (Cádiz) in 2012. She will discuss about FEBS initiatives to promote the young scientist career.
