Mentoring the Tartu_TUIT Estonia Team
The biotechnology industry in the Baltic region was being developed probably at fastest rates in whole Europe in recent years. Although life sciences in our region are very popular among high-school and university students, surprisingly up until this year only one iGEM team - Vilnius-Lithuania - existed in the Baltics. So when we heard that our neighbors from the University of Tartu, Institute of Technology had formed a fresh iGEM team, we did not hesitate and immediately offered our guidance to help them with the initial steps to set up a project. During our visit at the University of Tartu, Institute of Technology we:
Gave lectures on key components of successful iGEM projects:
marketing and fundraising,
public relations,
human practices,
project development.
Discussed and advised on the initial Tartu_TUIT project idea.
Advised on arranging a timeline for project implementation. We already had valuable experience in planning iGEM activities and warned Tartu_TUIT when it is important to start developing a team wiki page, how to arrange time in October, when the most important deadlines emerge.
Through our three-year participation in the iGEM history, we have developed some good strategies to raise funds in a rather narrow potential-sponsor field in our region. Knowing that good projects require sufficient finance, we explained the best fundraising strategies which we personally applied for our projects. Next, as synthetic biology is a rather unknown scientific field in local Baltic communities, we taught efficient strategies of public relations: how to approach the public through mass media, how to build your social networks' communication strategy. We then turned to more specific iGEM topics and explained in detail, how human practices ought to be organized and carefully implemented. We presented the medal requirements and explained what human practices activities we arranged in previous years. Lastly, we gave the most important talk of our mentoring-visit presenting the most successful iGEM projects and shifting the lecture to a discussion on how iGEM projects are built. We once again presented in detail the medal criteria and highlighted the most important steps of project development: from deciding on an idea to planning a work in the laboratory.
Tartu_TUIT:
Provided suggestions for our project.
Together:
We continued our collaboration throughout the year and members from both teams contacted each other when needed:
In May when both teams wanted to elaborately discuss the ongoing human practices work
In July, when Tartu_TUIT team had issues with the sequencing quality and asked for our assistance with sequencing their samples
Later in July we also discussed the progress of each project
In August, when Vilnius-Lithuania iGEM team had a shortage of DNA bases
Virtual Meet-ups
Collaboration is all about exchanging ideas and we believe that collective thinking can do a lot of good for iGEM projects. So we have decided to arrange virtual meet-ups for teams to present and investigate any bottlenecks or issues of their projects. The following teams participated in our virtual meet-ups:
SCUT-China_B
Groningen iGEM
NYU Abu Dhabi
Tartu_TUIT
