Team:Calgary/Public Engagement
PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT
The iGEM 2018 Calgary team focused our outreach and education efforts on targeting three tiers of stakeholders involved in the project: researchers, students, and the general public. .
Researchers
Faculty Talk
In May of 2018, our team held a informational presentation outlining our preliminary ideas and plans for researchers, doctors, and general interest groups at the University of Calgary. Our team used this time as an opportunity to connect with the individuals who are most likely to utilize our system in the future and listen to feedback surrounding our project. More about the feedback we received during this meeting can be found in the Integrated Human Practices page. One of our other dominant purposes of holding this information session was to educate researchers and professionals about our future plans regarding this system. We held this talk early in the summer to increase awareness and relevance of our project. A common theme we encountered in our early human practices discussions included concerns about the ethics and connotations surrounding a “gene therapy” project. We wanted to make sure that we had reached out properly to the target users of our system and addressed these concerns directly.
