This allowed us to explore a huge range of different areas, from safety to intellectual property right to public opinion, all of which contribute to the success of a synthetic biology project outside of the lab. Our team considered these by consulting with parties affected by these issues, including the Environment Agency, iGEM start-up companies, and members of the public (including full attributions to all experts and stake-holders who assisted us) to gain an insight into the problems which might hold back syn bio solutions from implementation in society. We used this information together with our own experiences to think about how these potential road blocks can be successfully navigated, by the syn bio community and by society as a whole. </li>

Medal Fulfilment



Click a tick box for details!
Bronze Medal Requirements:
  • Team registration.
  • Team Wiki.
  • Present a poster and a talk at the iGEM Jamboree.
  • The description of each project must clearly attribute work done by the students and distinguish it from work done by others, including host labs, advisors, instructors, sponsors, professional website designers, artists, and commercial services.
  • Document at least one new standard BioBrick Part or Device used in your project/central to your project and submit this part to the iGEM Registry.


Silver Medal Requirements: In addition to the Bronze Medal requirements,
  • Experimentally validate that at least one new BioBrick Part or Device of your own design and construction works as expected.
  • Document the characterization of this part in the “Main Page” section of that Part’s/Device’s Registry entry.
  • Submit this new part to the iGEM Parts Registry (submissions must adhere to the iGEM Registry guidelines).
  • iGEM projects involve important questions beyond the bench, for example relating to (but not limited to) ethics, sustainability, social justice, safety, security, or intellectual property rights. Articulate at least one question encountered by your team, and describe how your team considered the(se) question(s) within your project. Include attributions to all experts and stakeholders consulted.


Gold Medal Requirements: In addition to the Bronze and Silver Medal requirements,
  • Improve the function OR characterization of an existing BioBrick Part or Device (created by another team or your own institution in a previous year), enter this information in the Registry.
  • Help any registered iGEM team from another school or institution by, for example, characterizing a part, debugging a construct, or modeling or simulating their system.
  • iGEM projects involve important questions beyond the bench, for example relating to (but not limited to) ethics, sustainability, social justice, safety, security, or intellectual property rights. Describe an approach that your team used to address at least one of these questions. Evaluate your approach, including whether it allowed you to answer your question(s), how it influenced the team’s scientific project, and how it might be adapted for others to use (within and beyond iGEM).
