Eligibility for Special Prizes
Best Human Practice Advance:
We designed and administered an intellectual property survey to gather high impact data from more than 380 members of the iGEM community. The information was useful to other iGEMers, such as Team INSA Lyon who cited the majority of our data for their human practice. Our team also engaged people outside of the iGEM community, such as a patent agent, patent lawyer, University of British Columbia University-Industry Liaison Office and technical experts. The end result, with use of feedback from experts and other iGEM teams, was an intellectual property guide geared specifically towards the iGEM competition.
Human Practices #2 (Desulfurization):
To gain industrial insight, we went to the Chevron refinery in Burnaby, British Columbia, and talked to an industry professional about the processes pertinent to our project. It demonstrates strides that we have taken towards making our project relevant to real world problems by assessing how our project is applicable to the industrial scen
