Re: [DIYbio] Re: Non-institutionally affiliated teams allowed at the next iGEM?

The most important question for me: does this mean non-institutionally groups get access to the parts registry?

Hi guys,

I could discuss extensively with Randy at SB6, several points:

- yes it is true and confirmed, 2014 will be the year non academic teams will be able to register to IGEM. 

- you don't need to be affiliated to any university so yes you can apply alone and by yourself

- the fees will remain the same so several thousands dollars for registration + jamboree participation fees per team members. 

- a DIYbio team will have to answer a certain biosafety standard (I.e. GMO Licence in Europe) that will be controlled by a committee. No clear detail how this will be implemented. 

Personal remark: Except DIYbio groups in the US that don't require a GMO license and are close to Boston, I don't see how worth it is to a group of biohackers to invest literally 10000 to 20000 dollars on registration + trip + accommodation fees to participate to the competition. If you're able to get that much money use it for science and projects... If you really want to participate to iGEM, just join or collaborate with an already existing academic team that will pay for your fees. 

Best,

Thomas

I'm curious what the caveats will be. I'm sure there will be something similar to having a sponsoring professor. A sponsoring local lab perhaps? Some sort of CYA policy.

Honestly?

Can I be a one-man team? :D

Or participate together with the guys from Graz ;) Seems legit...

confirmation ? Also, does this means companies can compete?

Hi all-

I am at SB6.0, and they just announced that in 2014 they will be inviting DIY teams to the IGEM competition. So start brainstorming! Very exciting!!!
