Career day at the university - April 24th
We had a stand on the career day for the Institute of Biosciences. There we met students and talked with them about possibilities within synthetic biology, and specifically about the IGEM competition.
Masterpub - April 24th
After the career day the student society Realistforeningen had an event called "Masterpub", where the goal is to inform students about what they can do during their master degrees. There we spoke about IGEM!
Synthetic Biology Day - August 25th
As a part of a science library arrangement, we had 6 presentations about iGEM in general for new biology students.
Lecture by Drew Endy in Trondheim - August 25th
We were invited by The Norwegian Biotechnology Advisory Board to go to Trondheim and listen to a presentation by Drew Endy. A post-presentation conversation with Mr. Endy, the Trondheim iGEM Team and us was set up with an audience. The event was filmed by NRK (Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation) Additionally we were “flies on the wall” during a radio interview of Mr. Endy.
Another Synthetic Biology Day - September 16th
Altough in a smaller scale this time, we had 3 talks about IGEM and our project for new biology students at our university. Trying to make sure there will be IGEM teams from The University of Oslo in the years to come!
