The Norwegian Biochemical Society.
The Norwegian Biochemical Society (NBS) was established in 1964 and aims to be a scientific and social forum for scientists and students of biology in Norway. In addition, we have ambitions of becoming an influential actor in national science politics. Membership is open to anyone. The membership fee is low and especially low for students. We have personal as well as corporate memberships, about 1500 altogether. NBS is one of the founding members of FEBS and is also member of the IUBMB and EFB. Our annual meeting (the “Contact meeting” in January) is extremely popular and is always oversubscribed. The Contact meetings are open for members of FEBS societies.

We issue a quarterly newsletter (“NBS-nytt”) containing scientific articles, society and political matters, announcements of meetings and courses as well as commercial advertisements. The newsletter is in Norwegian and is distributed for free to all members. NBS offers student travel fellowships to international meetings and organise scientific seminars and social meetings in the five university towns Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim, Tromsø and Ås. We are also involved in stimulating young people to start a career in the biological sciences.
