Starting 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!

Team Members

iGEM teams are very flexible! Two or more Universities can get together to form a single team. This allows a team to combine different backgrounds and talents to enrich the overall project. There is no limit on the number of students in an iGEM team. However we recommend creating a team of around 10 -15 people with different backgrounds who can enrich the team.
