Team:Toulouse/Acknowledgements/Sponsors

Financial support is mandatory to reach the success of our project. All of our sponsors are committed to promoting the scientific and innovative experiences such as the iGEM project. We would like to thank our collaborators for their contribution to our work by giving us an outstanding overview and help. The iGEM adventure could not have been made without their support and their strong knowledge in synthetic biology.
Thanks to the public and private sponsors, the Toulouse iGEM team collected 59 168.73 €. The encouragement was based on financial support from our schools and other partners, gifts of consumables or special sale prices on laboratory equipment.
