Overview
An important part of iGEM is Human Practices, which we understand not only as communication with a broader public but also as reflection of the project in a general aspect. This includes biosafety and biosecurity, social aspects as well as the implementation of the project into industrial processes. Therefore economical factors and political terms have to be considered. Finally we want to show the potential of the project as a possible realistic alternative to conventional and traditional methods of waste water treatment concerning the depletion of steroid hormons as estrogen and other pharmaceutical relevant substances.

Expert
In this section you can read more about the expert classification we got for our project.
We attended at the strategy process "Biotechnologie2020+". read more
The CAS conference for Synthetic Biology gave us the opportunity to present a poster about our project. read more
Politics
Here you can find our project evaluation with Rene Röspel, member of the german Bundestag.
Industry
An important part of a project development is the evaluation in cooperation with potential partners. Therefore we visited two sewage treatment plants and together we could work out an easy way for a future application.

Outreach
In Germany people are very suspicious when it comes to Synthetic Biology. Despite of strict regulations and decisive risk and technological impact assessment the public opinon is marked by prejudices and anxiety for biotechnology. Therefore outreach is a central part of every German iGEM project.
To inform the public the German iGEM teams arranged a SynBioDay, that was held all over Germany. We presented posters, organized experiments and as a special additional we invited the iGEM team from SDU-Denmark to help us. read more
We did a waffle sell and a poster presentation in our university. read more
Education
We hosted a student academy for interested pupils to learn about Synthetic Biology.
