SYNENERGENE Calls for Proposals

Take your iGEM project to the next level

Rathenau Instituut

Due date: 1 May 2014

Is your iGEM team looking for an exciting human practices challenge? Would you like to take the potential of your project to the next level by exploring it with various stakeholders? And would you like to get support and funding throughout this entire process? If your answer is “yes” your team just might be an excellent candidate for our SYNENERGENE call.

Introduction

The Rathenau Instituut is partner of SYNENERGENE, a four-year collaborative project funded by the European Commission, aimed at fostering Responsible Research and Innovation in synthetic biology (SynBio). In order to examine how SynBio can be optimally embedded in society, the Rathenau Instituut and its SYNENERGENE partners aim to conduct real-time technology assessments of potential SynBio applications. To this end, we seek collaboration with iGEM teams and focus on promising ideas for SynBio applications as developed in iGEM projects. Teams can dedicate their policy and practices (formerly: human practices) work to a process of real-time technology assessment and will be supported by SYNENERGENE partners throughout the process. Teams can apply for support and funding by submitting to us proposals.
