                    <p class="lead"> Collaboration is a powerful driver of progress in science. To stand on the shoulders of giants is increasingly unrealistic in a globalised world where scientists work in ever more specialised areas and without geographic or language barriers.<br><br>
 +
 +
For science to continue to benefit from globalisation, we must advance the axiom and seek to build a human pyramid from the shoulders before and around us. Collaboration and open source data are at the heart of iGEM and so too the heart of Incell. <br><br>
 +
 +
Below we describe our most significant collaborations within the iGEM community. The symbiosis we strive for in our project has shone brightly through the partnerships established with teams around the world. Our story — and the stories of our friends — have been mutually shaped by the diversity of our shared experiences, knowledge and perspectives.

                <h2>Vartov's Videnskab - Ethics and future of synthetic biology</h2>
+
−
<p>
+
−
The 21th of September inCell and Vartovs Videnskab hosted an evening in the sign of synthetic biology.  
+
−
 
+
−
Vartovs Videnskab (VV) is a small organization driven by two dedicated science students at University of Copenhagen. VV arranges evening events with a clear concept: science and wine. At every event a new interesting scientific topic will be presented and discussed by researchers working within the area. The audience at the events is a diverse group of young, old, science nerds, curious minds and entrepreneurs.
+
−
 
+
−
The 21th of September the theme of the evening was synthetic biology. In the beautiful location at Vartov in downtown Copenhagen the two girls behind VV; Jamila Lilja and Anna Øhlenschlæger introduced the concept of VV and the program. Following Jon Fugl and Sissel Stork gave an introduction to the field of synthetic biology, the iGEM competition and the inCell project.
+
−
 
+
−
After giving the audience a basic idea of the field of synthetic biology Associate Professor in Philosophy at the University of Copenhagen Sune Holm shared his thoughts on the ethical considerations related to synthetic biology. Sune categorized the ethical considerations into two boxes: those that are related to doing synthetic biology and those considerations that relate to the consequences that synthetic biology may have. Sune stressed the importance that the intellectual property (IP) rights of synthetic biology as a technology should not end up in a corporate company but should be retained in society. He also addressed the need of public discussion of the future of synthetic biology - which problems should we as a society be focusing on solving using synthetic biology; producing medicine, a sustainable food future or a greener future. Finally, Sune also raised concerns on the potential of synthetic biology applied in biological weapons and other negative potential consequences of the technology.
+
−
 
+
−
Postdoc in plant biochemistry at the University of Copenhagen Thomas Laursen gave after Sune a glimpse of the ways we use synthetic biology today and what we might be using it for in the future. Thomas focused on how synthetic biology can be used to create a greener future using different organisms and harvesting the energy from the sun.
+
−
 
+
−
At a panel discussion with stud.scient Jon Fugl, Sune Holm and Thomas Laursen the audience had the opportunity to ask questions for discussion by the panel and the rest of the audience. Many interesting topics and thoughts related to the future of synthetic biology were shared featuring, artificial intelligence, robotics, IP rights, the public GMO debate in Denmark, the alternatives to synthetic biology, and elaboration of the potential implications in food and medicine.
+
−
 
+
−
More than 100 interested people showed up, drank wine and left with a better understanding of synthetic biology as a technique and applications. A big applause to the team behind Vartovs Videnskab for hosting this great event with us and sharing the passion for communicating science beyond the academic walls.

<p class="lead">In the tradition of the previous year’s winners hosting the following year’s conference, we had the pleasure to host teams from the Nordic region in Copenhagen. Teams had the opportunity to present their projects and receive questions and feedback from peers and judges. It was beneficial and a huge confidence boost for teams to be able to play with presentation strategy and get a feel for which parts of project stories gained traction and areas in need of development. All in a safe space in front of an audience of equals.

Spreading the knowledge of the synthetic biology is an very important mission for the inCell team. We think it is very important to communicate and discuss synthetic biology especially with the young generation and future scientist. For this reason inCell teamed up with the former iGEM team representing the University of Copenhagen in the iGEM competition; Cosmocrops.  
+
  
−
The Cosmocrops project worked on the development of a new co-culturing system combining the properties of microalgae (cyanobacterium) and a bacterium to efficiently harvest sunlight to produce essential compounds like biopharmaceuticals, vitamins or plastic for 3D-printing.

<p class="lead">We have been and continue to be, very motivated in taking Incell beyond the lab. The Incell podcast series has enabled us to draw upon diverse scientific, non-scientific, cultural and environmental perspectives from around the world. Incell is an abstract, foundational science project and we felt it important for development to be in the spirit of the humanity we hope to serve. Collaborating with other teams from Canada and India enhanced our content, multiplied our audience and maximised the public outreach and human value of our work.

E V E N T S

Collaboration is a powerful driver of progress in science. To stand on the shoulders of giants is increasingly unrealistic in a globalised world where scientists work in ever more specialised areas and without geographic or language barriers.

For science to continue to benefit from globalisation, we must advance the axiom and seek to build a human pyramid from the shoulders before and around us. Collaboration and open source data are at the heart of iGEM and so too the heart of Incell.

Below we describe our most significant collaborations within the iGEM community. The symbiosis we strive for in our project has shone brightly through the partnerships established with teams around the world. Our story — and the stories of our friends — have been mutually shaped by the diversity of our shared experiences, knowledge and perspectives.

DTU Biobuilders’ BioBrick Weekend (February, 2017)

  • DTU-Denmark (Denmark)
  • SDU-Denmark (Denmark)
  • NTNU Trondheim (Norway)
  • Chalmers-Gothenburg (Sweden)



An inspiring and practical three-day introduction to iGEM hosted by our friends and closest neighbours. Workshops covered the structure of the competition, hands-on laboratory experience in BioBrick assembly and debate of the ethical considerations surrounding synthetic biology.

Nordic iGEM Conference (June, 2017)

  • DTU-Denmark (Denmark)
  • SDU-Denmark (Denmark)
  • Stockholm (Sweden)
  • Lund (Sweden)
  • Uppsala University (Sweden)
  • Chalmers-Gothenburg (Sweden)
  • Aalto-Helsinki (Finland)


In the tradition of the previous year’s winners hosting the following year’s conference, we had the pleasure to host teams from the Nordic region in Copenhagen. Teams had the opportunity to present their projects and receive questions and feedback from peers and judges. It was beneficial and a huge confidence boost for teams to be able to play with presentation strategy and get a feel for which parts of project stories gained traction and areas in need of development. All in a safe space in front of an audience of equals.

Incell podcast series (August–November, 2017)

  • Toronto (Canada)
  • REC-CHENNAI (India)


We have been and continue to be, very motivated in taking Incell beyond the lab. The Incell podcast series has enabled us to draw upon diverse scientific, non-scientific, cultural and environmental perspectives from around the world. Incell is an abstract, foundational science project and we felt it important for development to be in the spirit of the humanity we hope to serve. Collaborating with other teams from Canada and India enhanced our content, multiplied our audience and maximised the public outreach and human value of our work.

SDU Wiki writing workshop (August, 2017)

  • DTU-Denmark (Denmark)
  • SDU-Denmark (Denmark)


A brilliant day of workshops offering advice and inspiration for producing an effective and beautiful wiki. SDU are established leaders in producing exceptional iGEM wikis and their counsel proved indispensable when designing and creating our own. We added further value to the event — producing and sharing a video blog of the experience and take home messages with our social media network.
