EVENTS
iGEM Parisian Meet up

On July 7th, 2018, a Parisian meet up was organized by the iGEM Pasteur team. It was a great opportunity to meet for the first time 8 other french iGEM teams. We were able to practice our project presentation for the Jamboree and to get more acquainted with other projects for an eventual future collaboration. In Paris, our team was represented by Thomas (team leader and engineer) and Elise (biologist).
iGEM Mediterrannean Meet up

On August 9 and 10, our team had the chance to be invited to Marseilles for the Mediterranean meet up organized by the Aix-Marseilles iGEM team. The team presented its project and poster in front of a jury. Our team was also able to talk with a guest speaker about bioethics. iGEM ambassadors were also present.
A lot of remarks that we got during this meet up allowed us to progress with our project. To see how this meet up allowed us to integrate the Human Practices in our project, click here.
iGEM Spanish Meet up

From Saturday 18th to Monday 20th of August, Lucas went to Barcelona for the Spanish meet up organized by iGEM UPF-CRG-Barcelona. Grenoble-Alpes was the only French team there!
This meet up allowed us to meet all the Spanish teams except from Valencia (which makes two teams from Barcelona, one from Madrid and one from Navarre). Each team did a Jamboree-like presentation. Feedbacks have been produced on the presentations. Speakers came to talk about the evolution of synthetic biology, ethics and bacterial microfilms.
Thanks to the iGEM Navarra BG team, our project has been featured in Spanish press articles.
LOCAL EVENTS
Forum Biotech
![](https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2018/f/f8/T--Grenoble-Alpes--eventsFig2.jpeg)
For the 21st edition of the Biotechnology Forum of Auvergne Rhône-Alpes, iGEM Grenoble was invited to present phage therapy and its project to biotechnologies professionals. Romy, a former member of iGEM Grenoble 2017, helped us to organize this event.
UGA c'est party !

On the 12th and 13th of September, we welcomed new students from Grenoble-Alpes University and Grenoble INP Network. The goal was to make the association and the competition known to encourage vocations for the next years. We also had the opportunity to meet teachers, researchers and volunteers from the university community who were able to help us for the visibility and the construction of our Phagyzer project. 40 people were willing to take part in the competition next year.
Université d'été solidaire

With iGEM EPFL Swiss team, we attended workshops about ethical reflection on synthetic biology at a summer university (called université d’été solidaire in French) in Grenoble on Thursday, August 23rd. The iGEM EPFL team produced a film in which the day's progress appears.
We met with associations, seeking to make citizens aware of new advances in research and to participate in research budget votes and research legislation. We debated with opponents of synthetic biology and iGEM. To access the debate, here is the page: links to ethics page debate.

PRESENTATIONS
In the engineering school
![](https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2018/f/f8/T--Grenoble-Alpes--eventsFig2.jpeg)
In September 2018 we presented our project and the iGEM competition in the Phelma engineering school. Some iGEM members are students from this school. The goal is to promote the competition and that some students want to be part of the 2019 team! We could answer the questions of many students and take note of their remarks.
In the medical faculty

In September 2018 we presented our project and iGEM competition to undergraduate students in Biotechnology and Medicine. Some iGEM members are students from this university. It seemed important to present our project to future doctors and to make a discussion on phage therapy. The approach is the same as during the presentation at the engineering school.
Midi minatec (Scientific community)
![](https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2018/f/f8/T--Grenoble-Alpes--eventsFig2.jpeg)
On Friday, October 12, as part of Science Week, the iGEM team supported a Midi-Minatec (seminar conference) in front of 400 people, CEA researchers and students from the Grenoble region. This is the first time the team could unveil the Phagyzer system to the general public! The 30-minute presentation allowed to present the iGEM competition, the formation of the association iGEM, the preparation of the project and the realization of the Phagyzer system. The team was then able to answer many questions from the audience!
