Team:Panama/how to become a sponsor

IGEM Panama Team
Home

 

The first week of June we will be publicly announcing the first Panamanian team to participate in the annual iGEM Synthetic Biology contest held at MIT. This is an opportunity for Panama to create a center of excellence in the rapidly growing field of Synthetic Biology, and it will offer students the chance to build skills on an international level which will lead to valuable careers.

This is an opportunity for your company to gain visibility by supporting these Panamanian students!.

The Panamanian team will consist of students from the University of Panama, the Techonological University of Panama, and graduate students at INDICASAT and the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI). SENACYT, Panama's National Secretariat of Science, Technology, and Innovation, will match private sponsorship up to $15,000. The universities, INDICASAT, and STRI will be contributing both money and staff time, and INDICASAT will be donating the cost of all biological equipment and supplies.

How can your corporation help? We need to raise $20,000 to finance the team's efforts. The funds will be used for travel expenses for 10 students and 2 instructors to the final iGEM event at MIT in Boston, instructor travel to training events, publication preparation, students' local travel expenses, and other materials necessary to support the team.

  • Gold Sponsors of $5000 or more made before our public announcement of the team will allow you to have a representative speak during the press conference, which will be held at SENACYT, will be attended by SENACYT Director Dr. Rubén Borrocal, and will get national television coverage.
  • Silver Sponsors of $1,000 or more will be specifically acknowledged during the press conference, and will have their logos displayed during the conference.
  • Bronze Sponsors of $500 or more will be included in our web site acknowledgments.
