Revision as of 12:51, 19 May 2010

Details: Date: June 12-13, 2010 Location: University of Evry / Genopole France Room: TBD

Sponsors

The Europe workshop is sponsored in part by Genopole®. In 1998, Genopole® was founded in Evry (near Paris) under the impetus of the French government, the local authorities and the French Muscular Dystrophy Association (AFM). Genopole® is based on a novel concept: bringing together academic labs, biotech companies and high-level teaching & training facilities on the same campus. Genopole®’s goal is to promote research excellence and entrepreneurship in life science, in order to position France as a scientific and industrial leader in highly competitive global markets. In twelve years, the Genopole® biopark has made its name as a major French player in biotherapy and biotechnology. It currently hosts 69 biotech companies and 20 academic research labs.

Who should attend?

Every team MUST send at least one instructor. In the past the workshops were targeted specifically towards the instructors. This year, however, students are highly encouraged to attend as well!

You only have to attend one of the three workshops, whichever one you choose, but you must attend at least one regardless of whether you are a returning iGEM team or not.

Why attend the workshop?

iGEM is growing and changing. There will be a lot of changes in the coming years and the iGEM community needs to communicate, discuss, and be involved in figuring out what iGEM will look like in the future. Will it turn in to one large conference? What about regionals?

Having the Jamboree as the only event where we all get to meet up in person is not ideal. We are encouraging teams to attend the workshops so that they can be involved in the discussions of how iGEM is changing and what the future of iGEM will be.

Your Role in the Teachers Workshop

Each team will be given less than 5 minutes to speak about their team and their involvement in iGEM this year. We advise against presenting slides because of time - as we are getting larger we want to give everyone the opportunity to speak but appreciate that we aren't just inviting you to come listen to team backgrounds all day. Please think about and be prepared to speak informally about the following:

• How did you hear about iGEM and why did you get involved?
• What are your expectations and hopes for iGEM 2010?
• What has happened at your school to get ready for iGEM 2010?
• Please describe the team - the students, the instructors, and the facilities available.
• How are you supporting your team financially?
• What projects is your team considering so far? (optional)

Please do not plan to give a presentation of the team's project. That will happen at the Jamboree.
