Background and Scope

Investigation of the biological role of trace elements and minerals (TEM) has gained outstanding importance in the life sciences. Elements present even at minimal concentrations in biological and environmental matrices, in fact, can exert fundamental influence on vital functions depending on their amounts and species. It is also worth stressing, in this context that new trace elements are being added to the list of those that are known or suspected to be essential. The Federation of European Societies on Trace Elements and Minerals (FESTEM) was founded in 1997, under the initiative of three societies from Italy (AISETOV), Germany (GMS) and from French speaking countries (SFERETE). Two other societies joined the Federation in 2002, one from Spain (SEQCET) and one from Russia (RUSTEM). The printed source of FESTEM, Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology, founded in 1987 by Peter Braetter, Jurgen D. Kruse-Jarres and Ingrid Lombeck, is one of the most reputable periodical issues on TEM research. Since the FESTEM foundation, four Federation’s symposiums were successfully held in Venice (Italy), Neuherberg – Munich (Germany), Santiago de Compostela (Spain) and Saint Petersburg (Russia).
