4. Competition Deliverables

Every iGEM team is responsible for delivering eight different items throughout the competition. These items are used to evaluate your team, in addition to the other medal and award criteria. Failure to complete these deliverables may impact your team’s chances at winning medals and prizes during the Giant Jamboree. For the list of the 2017 iGEM Competition Deliverables, click below.

5. Track Selection

Each team needs to decide which Track they will compete in at the Giant Jamboree. The purpose of the iGEM tracks is to help teams focus their projects. Teams will select two tracks at the start of the season to declare their interests and will ultimately select one track prior to the Giant Jamboree. This year, iGEM has 14 tracks to choose from. For the list of the 2017 iGEM Tracks, click below.

6. Positive Contribution

All participants are required to work hard to build positive contributions to society and have lots of fun!

While we know this is a competition, we encourage all teams to come to the Giant Jamboree to celebrate their hard work and share in the joy of iGEM with teams from around the world.

Other Elements of iGEM 2017

Along with the requirements described above, iGEM teams will receive the Distribution Kit as part of our Give and Get philosophy at iGEM. All teams are also strongly encouraged to incorporate Human Practices into their projects and can sign up for the optional InterLab Study. More information on each of these elements can be found below.

Title and Abstract

Each team should submit a title and abstract for their project. These items are included in the Giant Jamboree program and are the first items the judges will see when they begin to evalulate your team in November. For more details about the Title and Abstract, click below.

Human Practices

iGEM teams creatively engage with important issues "beyond the bench", relating (but not limited) to ethics, sustainability, social justice, safety, security, environmental impact and intellectual property rights. We call this work Human Practices. For more details, click below.
