Founded on the 1st of January 1964, the Federation of Biochemical Societies is one of the largest organisations in European life sciences, with nearly 40.000 members distributed among 36 Constituent Societies throughout Europe. The main aim of the organisation is to advance basic research and education in biochemistry and molecular cell biology. To achieve these objectives FEBS supports practical and lecture-based Advanced Courses and provides Youth Travel Grants to facilitate the attendance of young scientists. It also offers Long-term, Short-term, and Summer fellowships for training of young scientists as well as for technology transfer. Further, FEBS promotes a Meeting hosted by one member of the Federation each year unless there is an IUBMB Congress in Europe. If the latter should be the case, then usually there has been a smaller Special FEBS Meeting. Bursaries are provided to assist younger scientists to attend these meetings. FEBS also awards Fellowship Follow-up Research Grants to help re-establish Long-term Fellows in their home country.

The European Federation of Biotechnology is the association of European nonprofit-making scientific and technical societies in biotechnology. Our aim is to enhance cooperation between the societies and their members in order to promote the multidisciplinary field of biotechnology and to support its scientific, economic and applied technological development in a socially and ethically acceptable manner.

The Federation of European Chemical Societies (FECS)

The Federation of European Chemical Societies (FECS) is a voluntary organisation. Its object is to promote co-operation in Europe between those non-profit-making scientific and technical societies in the field of chemistry whose membership consists largely of individual qualified chemists and whose interests include the science and/or practice of chemistry. It was founded in 1970. FECS is a partner in AllChemE (Alliance for Chemical Sciences and Technologies in Europe) and is an Associated Organisation of IUPAC.

The Association of Finnsh Chemical Societies
Osoite/Adress: Hietaniemenkatu 2, 4 krs.
FIN-00100 HELSINKI
puh. (09) 454 2040
faksi (09) 408 780

The Association of Finnish Chemical Societies (Suomen Kemian Seura), est. 1970, comprises three member societies: The Finnish Chemical Society (Suomalaisten Kemistien Seura ry), The Finnish Society of Chemical Engineers (Kemiallisteknillinen Yhdistys) and the mainly swedish speaking Chemical Society of Finland (Finska Kemistsamfundet). All of the senior members of the three societies have completed their university education. Junior membership is offered to students of chemistry and chemical engineering, free of charge.

European Federation for Medicinal Chemistry (EFMC)
http://www.efmc.ch

Objective of EFMC
The objective of the EFMC is to advance the science of medicinal chemistry by promoting cooperation between the adhering organisations. EFMC will pursue this objective in the following manner:

International Federation Of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC)
Tel : +33 3 83 35 26 16
Fax : +33 3 83 32 13 22
E.mail : office@ifcc.org
http://www.ifcc.org/

IFCC achieves its goals by publishing information and guidelines relating to the education of clinical chemists, by defining principles and publishing recommendations for the standardisation of analytical procedures and for the interpretation of analytical results ; by promoting meetings of clinical chemists through congresses, symposia and workshops in clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, and by encouraging dialogue with clinicians on matters of common interest. IFCC now has the major responsibility for coordinating the development of clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine on an international basis. In fulfilling this responsibility, it co-operates with many other international, regional and national organisations, particularly in the fields of education and standardisation. IFCC also assists and encourages the creation and organisation of national societies of clinical chemistry void charge in countries where these do not yet exist, and establishes and maintains contact with individual clinical chemists in parts of the world where there is no professional body specifically concerned with clinical chemistry.

The International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Associations (IFPMA)
30 rue de St-Jean
P.O. Box 758
1211 Geneva 13, Switzerland
Tel : +41 (22) 338 32 00
Fax : +41 (22) 338 32 99
E-mail : admin@ifpma.org
http://www.ifpma.org

The International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Associations (IFPMA) represents the worldwide research-based pharmaceutical industry and manufacturers of prescription medicines generally. The Federation has a central role in the exchange of information within the international industry, and in the development of position statements on matters of policy. It is also the main channel of communication between the industry and various international organizations that are concerned with health and trade-related issues, including the World Health Organization, the World Bank, the World Trade Organization and the World Intellectual Property Organization.

International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP)
Postal address:
PO Box 84200
2508 AE The Hague
The Netherlands

Street address:
Andries Bickerweg 5
2517 JP The Hague
The Netherlands
http://www.fip.nl

FIP's mission is "to represent and serve pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences world-wide". FIP sees its principle role as one of education in and development of the practice and science of pharmacy. FIP has two main functions, representation and service. In its first role it has non-governmental organisation (NGO) status with the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the other agencies of the United Nations. As well, FIP is a foundign member of the New International Alliance of Health Care Professionals. The Alliance is currently composed of the International Council of Nurses (ICN) and the World Medical Association (WMA) and FIP. FIP is actively involved, through committees and meetings, in helping to develop the role of pharmacists in the health care system and in particular the rational use of drugs. Pharmacists, because of their education and training, have the knowledge and skills required to ensure the quality of pharmaceutical products from manufacturer to end user. Indeed pharmacists and pharmaceutical scientists are at the forefront of research into the next generation of pharmaceuticals. In its role of service, FIP is perhaps better known. The problems of pharmacy are basically the same around the world. FIP has, for many years, sought to provide a platform for people, to come together to exchange ideas and views and to learn from each other.

European Federation for Pharmaceutical Sciences (EUFEPS)
PO Box 1136
SE-111 81 Stockholm
SWEDEN
Tel +46 8 7235000

The European Federation for Pharmaceutical Sciences (EUFEPS) is the only pan-European body to represent the interests of scientists in industry, academia, government and other institutions engaged in drug research, development, regulation and policymaking through Europe. Founded in 1991, it is there to serve and advance excellence in the pharmaceutical sciences and innovative drug research. Currently, EUFEPS links 25 Member Societies in 23 countries. In addition, there are other Supporting Corporations and Individual Members of EUFEPS.

National Academy of Sciences
2101 Constitution Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20418
Phone: (202) 334-2000
http://www.nas.edu

For advice on the scientific issues that frequently pervade policy decisions, the nation's leaders often turn to the institution that was specially created for this purpose: the National Academy of Sciences and its sister organizations -- the National Academy of Engineering, the Institute of Medicine, and the National Research Council. The Academies and the Institute are honorary societies that elect new members to their ranks each year. The Institute of Medicine also conducts policy studies on health issues, but the bulk of the institution's science-policy and technical work is conducted by its operating arm, the National Research Council, created expressly for this purpose. These non-profit organizations provide a public service by working outside the framework of government to ensure independent advice on matters of science, technology, and medicine. They enlist committees of the nation's top scientists, engineers, and other experts -- all of whom volunteer their time to study specific concerns. The results of their deliberations have inspired some of America's most significant and lasting efforts to improve the health, education, and welfare of the population.
