START A TEAM

There are several things you need to consider before starting a team; here we have a few guidelines that can help you get started.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact iGEM Headquarters for more information, we will be happy to hear from you!

Requirements

There are few general requirements that you must follow in order to take part in iGEM. There are also specific requirements depending on which track you wish to participate in.

    • If all student members are 23 and younger (as of the 31st of March 2014), the team will compete in the undergrad section.
    • If one or more is above the age 23 (as of the 31st of March 2014), the team belongs in the overgrad section.
