Virtual Conference

We initiated the Virtual Conference collaboration, during which various iGEM teams presented about their project and received feedback from other teams. The conference was held through google hangout on September 15th and in total of six teams joined. All teams prepared a short PowerPoint presentation that was shared to all other teams using the screen-sharing feature. Each team presented for five minutes, which was then followed by a ten-minute question and answer session.


The points that the teams have discussed including but are not limited to the following:


1) Tell us more about your project and why you chose the idea. Are you participating in any special track?

2) What kind of experiments will you be doing?

3) What are some challenges that you are currently facing or you anticipate to face?

4) How will you incorporate integrated human practices into your project? Are you looking for contacts with experts in the field?

If your institution has participated in iGEM before, what are some winning project tips that you can give to the other teams?


Great appreciation to Team HKUST from Hong Kong, REC Chennai, VIT Vellore from India, Saint Joseph Istanbul from Turkey, iGEM Macquarie from Australia for the fruitful conversation. We look forward to meeting you in person in Boston!
