SynBioDay: Street Science in Bielefeld
On 28th of June all german iGEM teams were invited to the strategy process „Biotechnologie 2020+“. In Berlin we decided to plan and arrange a common day in all german cities with participating iGEM teams. In the end the SynBioDay took place in Munich (TU and LMU), in Darmstadt, Göttingen, Marburg, Tübingen, Bonn and of course in Bielefeld. To raise public awareness we all agreed to organize the event on 25th of august. The idea behind our common day was to inform public not only about Snythetic Biology, but also about iGEM and our project. In Germany there is an ongoing debate about modern life sciences, especially biotechnology, genetic engineering and synthetic biology and we thought that by informing and explaining we might lower the prejudices (for the german debate about Synthetic Biology see here our discussion with René Röspel, a member of the german parliament)
In Bielefeld we organized the booth in cooperation with [http://www.bielefeld-marketing.de/de/index.html Bielefeld Marketing].
