On the 28th of June 2012 our iGEM team attended the congress [http://www.biotechnologie2020plus.de ‘Biotechnologie2020+'], the 3rd Annual Congress on Strategy Process in Berlin. This congress aimed to support the development of next generation biotechnologies. A total of 200 experts in science, industry and politics came to Berlin to exchange knowledge and delineate the future of biotechnologies in society. Among these, also 11 German iGEM teams participated in the conference. There, we had the possibility to present our project with a poster, attend lectures, participate in creative workshops and meet the other German iGEM teams. It was an extremely positive experience for us, because it was the first time we presented our project for public and above all, we had the chance to discus it with experts! At the congress we gave an interview about our iGEM project. An article of the conversation can be found [http://www.biotechnologie.de/BIO/Navigation/DE/root,did=153800.html here].

Our team gave an interview to the cluster of [http://www.bioss.uni-freiburg.de BIOSS], which can be accessed via the following link: [http://www.bioss.uni-freiburg.de/cms/2438.html Interview BIOSS]

Furthermore, our iGEM team gave a radio interview to Lena Schöneberger of the radio station [http://www.swr.de SWR], a well-known sender of Germany. Because the interview has not been broadcasted yet, we are still not allowed to release it on our website.
