Medals requirements
Gold Medal
- Improve the function OR characterization of an existing
- Help any registered iGEM team from another school or institution by, for example, characterizing a part, debugging a construct, or modeling or simulating their system.
- iGEM projects involve important questions beyond the bench, for example relating to (but not limited to) ethics, sustainability, social justice, safety, security, or intellectual property rights
Silver Medal
- Experimentally validate that at least one new BioBrick Part or Device of your own design and construction works as expected.
- Document the characterization of this part in the “Main Page” section of that Part’s/Device’s Registry entry.
- Submit this new part to the iGEM Parts Registry (submissions must adhere to the iGEM Registry guidelines).
- iGEM projects involve important questions beyond the bench, here we describe describe how our team considered the(se) question(s) within our project. Policy & practices
In synthetic biology, there is a contrast between the expectations (rigorous designs) and the reality (trials, errors and tinkering). It is crucial for students to question whether synthetic biology can truly be compared to engineering or if it is the result of inelegant but efficient kludges. The use of sponges raises ethical issues such as the modification of its microbiome, its use as a bioremediation tool and if the epibiosis could efficiently contain engineered bacteria in sponges.
Bronze Medal
- We registered our team for iGEM 2014
- We completed and submitted the Judging form.
- We made a comprehensive and accessible iGEM Evry 2014 Wiki to convey our educational and scientific advances.
- We will present a poster and give an oral presentation at the iGEM Jamboree in Boston, USA.
- Document at least one new standard BioBrick Part or Device used in your project/central to your project and submit this part to the iGEM Registry.
