Team Collaborations

This year, we have updated the Medal Requirements to include team collaborations as a silver medal requirement. To help facilitate collaborations, we have made this page so teams can share information about ways they wish to collaborate to reach all of the 2017 iGEM teams.

Tell us about your Collaboration Request by sending us an email to hq AT igem DOT org .
Please include:

  • Name of Collaboration Request
  • Your Team Name
  • Your Team Location (Institution and Country)
  • Brief Collaboration Request description. This can be something that you can offer other teams or something that you are looking for from another team(s).
  • Your contact information - Contact Name and Email (to be posted online)

Collaboration Request: Virtual Meetup
Team: NYU Abu Dhabi
Team Location: Abu Dhabi, UAE
Contact Information: Team Facebook page or email at nyuad.igem [AT] nyu.edu.

Collaboration description: Dear iGEM Teams,

Being located in the Middle East, we have found that there are very limited resources available for rising scientists. We are fortunate to have well-stocked lab and involved PI’s aiding us in our journey, but we recognize that not all teams in this region are able to benefit from feedback due to the disparate spread of iGEM teams. Hence, we would like to reach out and hold a virtual meetup for other iGEM teams wherein we can present and receive feedback on our work as well as troubleshoot some problems we may face. This would be organized via Skype and by time zone.

If you are interested in joining, please let us know as soon as possible! We will organize a meeting as soon as we have enough interest, and we are open to holding multiple meetups over the course of the year.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Warmly,
iGEM Team NYU Abu Dhabi 2017

Collaboration description:

Dear iGEM Teams,

As we all know iGEM is not only about labwork but also about bringing synthetic biology closer to the public. To do so last year’s iGEM team of the Heinrich- Heine- University of Duesseldorf started a campaign to promote synthetic biology in public using self-designed postcards. Seven other German teams decided to join us and the postcard exchange was a real success. Thrilled about the outcome of last year’s postcards, this year we would like to reach out even further and spread iGEM postcards all over Europe! The idea is that every participating team designs a postcard which shows an image related to synthetic biology, maybe even your topic, on the front and a small informational text on the back. Afterwards a batch of each team’s postcard is exchanged so that every team can share postcards from all over Europe with the people in their neighborhood and at public events etc. If you want to check out last year’s campaign, visit the wiki of Duesseldorf 2016: Postcards.

Postcards:

  • Image related to your project or (synthetic) biology in general on the front
  • Small information text on the back
  • Standard postcard format (A6; 14,8cm x 10,5cm)

If you are interested and want to join us please let us know until the 30th of June, so we can figure out how many postcards each team should print!

We’re looking forward to hearing from you!

Kind regards,
iGEM Team Düsseldorf Cologne 2017!
