- We think our team could be eligible for the ‘Best Human Practice Advance’. This, not for the in deep production of a new communication standard, but for the multiple approaches that we followed and for the wide range of people that we involved in our activities.
We focused our attention on new generations, giving them the right tools to understand new scientific discoveries, but also being attentive to safety and bioethical issues.
In the optic of these intentions we started to target University students during events like UniVillage and thanks to the collaboration with the university blog “il Tascapane” .
Then we will take part, representing our University, to the
European Innovation and Science Research Forum : we prepared the activities for children from 6 years old to high school teenagers.
The second strategy has been directed to over50 people. We had the opportunity to present our project and introduce synthetic biology to stimulate the curiosity of a wide audience during the Science Café , an event created to spread science with a lifelong philosophy.
We also dedicated energies to improve the communication and collaboration among igemmers, through a new tool: socialiGEM! A virtual meeting point without any distraction, where the community can share, discuss and organize their work.
Finally we organized and hosted the first Italian igemmers meeting and hope that in the future iGEM will reach many other Italian Universities. More than an outreach, this was a cooperation opportunity for exchanging idea and collaborating.
