Collaborations

Mediterranean meet up

Tecnológico de Monterrey

A first contact with the Mexican team was over Skype. They are going after water pollution, a critical environmental problem affecting megadiverse ecosystems and many communities close to the natural and polluted water sources. To help, we provided them with water samples from all over France so they can analyze them with several techniques in order to make a valuable overview.

For their end of the deal, the team agreed to help us in filling out a survey in Mexico regarding the use of GMOs and Beauveria bassiana to fight bed bugs infestations in their homes.

Postcard exchange program

By team Düsseldorf

For the second year in a row, we took part in the postcard exchange program organized by team Düsseldorf next to 39 other teams from all over the world. Each team should come up with a postcard design and send 100 copies to the organizing team so they can equally distribute them. Representing our home cities, describing our projects and coming up with creative designs: an all-in-all interesting experience and iGEM aspect.

Looking forward to meeting all the teams in Boston.

Language project

The Chinese team OUC-China created a comic book where it describes microbiology aspects to the non-scientific community. They needed us to translate the book into our native language (French). We jumped on board this interesting educational project, where the team sent us the English script of the comic book and we translated it into French.

We were more than happy to take part in one of the largest educational worldwide collaborations.

-= Mediterranean meet up =
-This year our devoted and highly motivated team organized the second Mediterranean meet up in Marseille on the 9 th and 10 th August 2018. This second edition of the mediterranean meet up was again a great opportunity to met each other and to share about their project. It’s a mini-jamboree including poster presentations, for teams from Mediterranean countries only. It was rewarding to make a Giant Jamboree rehearsal.
-We invited experts of different fields such as Dr ROBAGLIA who is an OGM specialist and Dr VILLARD an INSERM research director, whose advices  were essential in order to be prepared to the contest. We feel privileged to receive two after iGEM ambassadors Alicia MAGNANON and Théa CHRYSOTOMOU who expose what they learned and experienced in the competition.
-We organized presentations of the different projects and poster sessions. The presentation
-was  a project description in 180 secondes, in order  to perform a tonic training session. It’s a
-chance for iGEMers to make a synthesis of their work. After the project presentation, we visited and discovered city . This meet up allowed the teams to better know each other and create strong social link. Then it was an excellent rehearsal and a great opportunity to develop our cooperation spirit. We thank Bordeaux, Grenoble, Montpellier, Pasteur Paris, Paris SorbonneParis Bettencourt, Barcelona and Madrid teams for coming in Marseille. We hope to perpetuate this international meet up and to meet them soon at the Giant Jamboree.
