<p>This year's <a href="https://2014.igem.org/Meetups/June_Edinburgh">Team Edinburgh  </a> is hosting a Scottish team gathering, where we can all share and discuss our ideas. This is a chance to practise presentations in preparation for this years massive jamboree, as well as to further develop ideas by challenging them through discussion. Even more importantly, it is an opportunity to strengthen relations between teams and establish collaborations for the summer.
-
<p> At the inaugural YSB conference, young synthetic biologists from 14 college UK iGEM teams, members of UK iGEM High School and Entrepreneurial teams came together to share their projects and initiate collaborations. This 2 day event featured team presentation, Q & A sessions, poster presentations, and break out sessions focusing on different skills you need in iGEM e.g human practices. There was also a social evening for all the teams to get to know each other. </p>
+
Join us for a busy day full of inspiring presentations and discussions, followed by a more relaxing evening with food and drinks.</p>

This will be the Third Annual NEGEM meeting! Teams will present a brief overview of their project along with their specific summer goals, then discuss alternative ways to approach their projects, and end the day with brainstorming ways for the teams to collaborate on either experiments or human practices (or both!). The plan is to then get together again in August to discuss progress and start preparing for the Giant Jamboree, with a final meeting in October to practice presentations! </p>

This meeting is mainly for software tracks. Because most of the meet-ups are among wet tracks, the meeting could be a great opportunity to enhance communication between software teams. Teams will present a brief overview of their project along with their specific summer goals, then discuss alternative ways to approach their projects, and end the meeting with brainstorming ways for the teams to collaborate on either coding or human practices. !</p>

Teams will come together for an afternoon (usually on a Saturday due to class schedules) to formally present their work in preparation for the Giant Jamboree. We'll also set aside time for each team to discuss their plans for their posters. Each team will leave this meet up with a stack of "feedback forms", which will be filled out by the other attendees.

The meet up will also include talks from other exciting speakers from the field of synthetic biology. There will of course be a chance to chat to both the speakers and the other teams over some light refreshments and throughout the day. We hope that this will help build ties between the teams that will be sustained throughout the competition.
