FEMS

Federation of European Materials Societies

The Federation of European Materials Societies (FEMS) is the European umbrella organisation for associations in the field of materials science and engineering. It was founded in 1987 with significant participation of the DGM, SF2M and IOM3 and hosted its foundation meeting as the conference "Euromat" in Aachen. FEMS has 27 member associations with a total of 20,000 personal members in 20 European countries. 

As a member of the DGM you are also a member of FEMS. Your benefits of the FEMS membership are listed in the following PDF.

Further Information

European Journal of Materials

The European Journal of Materials by FEMS in association with Taylor and Francis, is a fully open access materials science and engineering journal that covers the functional and structural behavior of materials.

European Journal of Materials covers a broad spectrum of topics at the frontier of science and engineering of materials, from advanced processing and modelling to characterization at all length scales. The journal aims to close the gap between academics and practitioners in the field to provide a home for research in the international arena of materials science and engineering.

European Journal of Materials publishes research on the application-specific features of materials in medical, energy, transportation, construction and other industries in the following subject areas: 

  • Functional materials
  • Structural materials
  • Processing
  • Characterization and modelling
  • Energy, transport and environment
  • Biomaterials for life science and healthcare
  • Bio-based materials
  • Raw materials and recycling
  • Education, strategy and technology transfer

European Journal of Materials accepts original research articles, review articles, short communications, news and views articles. The journal operates a single-blind peer review policy.

FEMS Member Society members are eligible to a 20% discount towards the Article Processing Fees. To claim your discount, please email proof of current and active members of a FEMS Member Society to secretaryfems.org.

All articles are freely and permanently available online through gold open access publication.
