FEPS 2027 Organisation
The Federation of European Physiological Societies (FEPS) was established on July 2, 1991, at the Regional Meeting of IUPS in Prague, Czech Republic. It now unites 35 Constituent Societies across the region.
FEPS pursues the following aims:
- To promote the exchange and diffusion of concepts and information among physiologists and physiological societies in Europe
- To facilitate the dissemination of information on member societies’ activities
- To encourage joint meetings between two or more member societies
- To facilitate the exchange of invitations to national and regional meetings among member societies
- To advance physiological science by supporting training programs in the discipline
- To promote the exchange of graduate students and scientists within Europe and internationally
- To stimulate international scientific research projects across Europe
Through these efforts, FEPS serves as a platform for collaboration and scientific advancement within the European physiology community.
FEPS unites physiologists and physiological societies across Europe, fostering the exchange of knowledge, joint meetings, training programs, and international research collaboration; see the federation’s history and aims for further details. The organization warmly invites physiologists throughout the region to take part in its activities and events.
FEPS 2027 is being organised by the Local Organising Committee in partnership with Lyon 1 Université Claude Bernard, the Local Scientific Committee, and FEPS Scientific Committee.

Local Partner Institutions
French Society of Physiology and Integrative Biology
The Société de Physiologie is a scientific society dedicated to advancing the field of physiology. It brings together researchers and professionals to share knowledge, organize scientific meetings, and promote collaboration within the discipline. Société de Physiologie’s influence endures in the institutional structure of modern biomedical research in France, particularly through the integration of experimental physiology and the incorporation of pre-clinical science into medical education.
INSERM - National Institute of Health and Medical Research
Founded in 1964, Inserm is a public scientific and technological institute which operates under the joint
authority of the French Ministries of Health and Research. The institute is dedicated to biomedical
research and human health, and is involved in the entire range of activities from the laboratory to the
patient’s bedside. It also partners with the most prestigious research institutions in the world that are
committed to scientific challenges and progress in these fields.
Claude Bernard University Lyon 1
Lyon 1 Université Claude Bernard has 40,000 students in the fields of science and health. It is one of the major centers of French academic research, internationally recognized for excellence in science, technology, and health sciences.
CNRS - French National Centre for Scientific Research
The National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) is France’s leading research institution covering all scientific fields. Its multidisciplinary approach enables it to address today’s complex global challenges through three key pillars: cutting-edge research across disciplines, application of research results to transform them into concrete and long-lasting social and technological innovations, and the open sharing of knowledge to inform society and public policy.
