Winners Announced for iGEM's 2020 Premier Synthetic Biology Innovation Competition
Amzeal News/10389766
International student teams bring home grand prize and nominations to China, France, Germany, Lithuania, Netherlands, and Taiwan.
BOSTON - Amzeal -- iGEM, the pioneering organization of synthetic biology, announced the winners of its annual international student competition at the iGEM 2020 Virtual Giant Jamboree, the largest synthetic biology innovation event in the world.
The Giant Jamboree is the culminating event of iGEM's annual synthetic biology innovation competition for collegiate and high school students. Each year, thousands of participants from around the globe explore unique applications of synthetic biology and build solutions that offer positive contributions to their communities and society at large. As part of the competition, participants explore the ethical, legal, social, economic, safety and security implications of their work, which is crucial for building safe and responsible projects that serve the public interest. More than 50,000 people have participated in iGEM since it began in 2003.
For the first time, the Giant Jamboree featured the iGEM Video Universe (https://video.igem.org/) for team presentations and promotion videos, as well as interactive spaces for poster sessions, workshops, committee tables, sponsor booths, networking events, and community gatherings. The ten-day virtual event focused on four aspects of iGEM – Competition, Community, Contribution, and Celebration – with over 6000 registrants that commended the 2020 teams for their success in overcoming the challenges of this exceptional year.
"We're breaking new ground in iGEM this year," said Randy Rettberg, co-founder and President of iGEM. "Every iGEM team made videos that they can use to tell their friends, family, and everyone in the world about the projects they've been involved in. We're focusing on the giant problems of the world as they are represented in the Sustainable Development Goals. This is not the old iGEM; this is the future iGEM"
