For the first time, we decided to create a meetup to gather iGEM teams from the Mediterranean shores. This idea came from realizing that some iGEMers didn't have the chance to take part in a meetup before the Giant Jamboree. This is unfortunate because meetups let us share experiences, practice presenting our project and allow us to meet each other.

Summer Mediterranean Meetup

For the second year in a row, the summer mediterranean meetup took place in Marseille, with the same goal: giving the chance to iGEM teams on the mediterranean shores to attend a close-by meetup.

This year, 8 teams joined us in Marseille: AFCM-Egypt, UPF_CRG_Barcelona, Grenoble, Bordeaux, Toulouse-INSA-UPS, Sorbonne_U_Paris, Pasteur_Paris, and Montpellier.

To present their projects and captivate the audience, the teams had 180 seconds. (An idea that was taken from the swissnex Brazil) “This type of science contest not only helps students to feel more comfortable in presenting their work to others, but also serves to inform the general public about the wide and exciting range of scientific research being carried out in Brazil”, says Adriano Bürgi, lead project manager of the event from swissnex Brazil. In addition, poster sessions were held, and a touring around Marseille was on the schedule too.

We thank all the attendees, and can't wait to check out the finalized projects in Boston.
