The FRET community provides a platform for discussions and exchange and represents the field within the scientific community.
The FRET community provides dissemination through freely-available resources and the organization of regular workshops on methods, instrumentation and analysis procedures.
The FRET community will work towards standardizing experimental and analysis procedures by organizing experimental and computational community challenges.
We are happy to announce that the Satellite Meeting at the Methods and
Applications Conference returns in 2025 in Montreal, Canada. The meeting
will take place before the start of MAF2025 on August 23 to 24 at
McGill University.

In 2021, many members of the FRET community came together to assess the state of the field.
The resulting position paper is a combination of the history of smFRET, a review of techniques, an assessment of experimental challenges and their solutions, an appeal for open science, and a perspective for the field and – most importantly – the community.
Over the past decades, Förster resonance energy transfer has evolved into a routine tool in the life sciences. Inspired by our recent joint study on the precision and accuracy of FRET, we hope to channel the efforts of community to advance the field within the scientific community.
