Wiki iGEM team of Cambridge 2010

Many thanks to the iGEM team of Cambridge 2010 for making their wiki template available!

Request iGEM team of Cinvestav 2012

The iGEM team of Cinvestav requested information concerning advices, experiences and other useful information for future iGEM teams. We answered questions posed by the Cinvestav team, such as ‘How to create new projects and ideas?’ and ‘What is the importance of human practices?’. We hope they have received plentiful input from the other iGEM teams, so they can set up an introductory document for new iGEM teams such as ourselves.

Symposium Wageningen – getting to know our Dutch competition

Once we decided upon our subject and made a start in the lab, in Matlab and in the manufacturing of the device, we started wondering how the other Dutch teams were coping. We were very curious to see their approach and ideas for the iGEM competition. Perhaps we could exchange valuable experiences in the first stages of the project, especially since this is the first time the Eindhoven University of Technology participated. Also important, we might be able to set up the first collaborations. No sooner said than done, we sent an email to the four other Dutch teams to gauge their interest for a get-together.

The Wageningen-UR team were enthusiastic and offered to organize the symposium at a location in Wageningen, which is a somewhat central location for all Dutch teams. The date for the symposium was the 9^th of July. The Wageningen-UR team arranged the location, a lunch and the day ended with a barbeque. The program contained a presentation by all the Dutch teams, but started with a presentation by the Wageningen-UR team 2011. They gave insights and useful tips for this year’s competition. All Dutch teams gave a presentation on the current status of their projects and there was room for worthy discussion. At the end of the day, the barbecue offered a great opportunity to get to know each other; something which wiki pages and email contact could not substitute. The Wageningen-UR team also arranged recordings of the day, which were streamed live. They are still available online: presentations part 1, presentations part 2.

iGEM symposium Eindhoven 2012

All Dutch and a few other iGEM teams from neighbour countries, Germany and Belgium, are invited to join a symposium organised by iGEM team TU-Eindhoven. They are invited on the 3^rd of October to have lunch, listen to some guest speakers about synthetic biology, present their own work and to enjoy this gathering with some late afternoon drinks. The aim of this symposium is to get some late critical comments from other iGEM teams and to practice the way to present their own work before the real deal at the Amsterdam iGEM Jamboree. Of course this afternoon is also meant to be a nice way of getting or staying in contact with each other and to have a great day together. Moreover, the entire symposium is open to the public and fellow students and employees have also been invited. If you are one of the teams flying in early to the Netherlands and you want to practice your presentation and receive valuable feedback, you are most welcome to join our symposium!
