Jamboree Registration

Registration for the iGEM 2011 Jamboree has been over. A Regional Jamboree attendance fee of $225.00 USD is required for each undergraduate or high school student and $425.00 USD for all instructors, grad students, advisors, and other attendees. Payment of Regional Jamboree attendance fees must be received by MIT Conference Services by TBD -- August 2011. Payments after the due date will increase $50.00 and all payments must be received by TBD. Head to the attendance fee page to find out more details on how to register.

2011 Regional Jamboree - Asia Schedule

Schedule (tentative)

Project Abstract

In order to provide others with a summary of what your project is about, we will be asking each iGEM team to submit an abstract of 100-150 words along with your project title (maximum 15 words) by TBD. Your abstract will be used in the Jamboree program that will provide a guide to the different topics that iGEM teams will be presenting. Please see the project abstract page for more details.

Team Roster

In order to get a final list of team members, each team must finalize their team roster by TBD. For your roster to be finalized, each team member must have a user account and be listed on the Team Information page. Note that all members must be confirmed and NOT listed as "pending" (i.e. they should be in the Team Roster section of the Team Information page. See this example. Be sure to include all members who participated over the summer, not only those who will be attending the Jamboree, as this list will be used to create participation certificates (so check for spelling mistakes too!).
For more information on how to add members/edit your Team Information page see the iGEM team Registration Handbook.

Tracks

Track selection helps group similar projects together so that they may be judged fairly and share presentation time. It is important that you submit your track selection on time, by TBD. You can find a list of the tracks on the tracks selection page and see judging criteriafor each track. Email your top 3 track selections, in order of preference, to hq@igem.org.

Visa Letters

In previous years there were several teams that were not able to attend the Jamboree due to visa problems. If you need to apply for a visa to come to the Regional Jamboree, you can use our online form and print out an official invitation letter. We asked that all teams apply for visas by June 1 at the latest.
iGEM Asia does not have any authority over consulate offices or the visa application process. The only way to have the highest chance of obtaining a visa is to apply early. If you do not yet know who will be attending the Jamboree in October, on the side of caution and have all members apply for visas.
Detailed information about Visit Visa / Entry Permit Requirements for the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region can be found here.

Documentation

Project: According to the iGEM requirements, each iGEM team's project should be documented on the iGEM 2011 wiki site with enough detail to replicate it independently. Additional presentational information about the team - their story, the rationale for the project, failures, successes, future work, etc. - is highly encouraged. Remember that these wiki pages will be the main source of inspiration for future teams, and having good documentation on them and in the part description in the Registry increases the likelihood of more teams building on your project and your parts. What is considered proper documentation is decided by the judging committee and you can find details about proper documentation at the Judging page.

Parts: iGEM requirements also state that all teams must properly document their parts on the Registry. The judging committee also decides what is considered proper part documentation. See the Judging page for details. Remember, the success of not just iGEM, but all of synthetic biology, depends on the development of well-characterized, reliable, standardized biological parts that have been designed to be simple to use and understand.

DNA Submissions

iGEM teams are expected to submit their parts to the Registry of Standard Biological Parts. Please take a look at the submissions page linked below. In addition to submitting your parts, you must also declare which of your parts are "favorites". Judges will only be looking at favorite parts so make sure to promote them before TBD.
See the DNA submission requirements for more information about the DNA submission process.

Judging Form

Teams will be required to submit a judging form that outlines their accomplishments according to the judging criteria. Judging forms will be available online at the beginning of TBD, and will be due on TBD.

Wiki Freeze

Sign-upPractice Sessions

Friday October 14th: Presentation Practice

Please email to igem2011asia@ust.hk with your team name and the # of the time slot that you would like to reserve on Friday night (October 14th) to practice your talk. Note that there will NOT be any A/V (audio/visual) support on site. Seven lecture theatres will be unlocked during the practice session and you should use them and leave them as you found them.
There are a limited number of time slots available on a first-come first-serve basis so please only choose one slot. We cannot match the room that you will ultimately give your presentation in with the practice room. This should, however, give you a chance to practice your talk in a new environment. Please keep in mind that there will be teams waiting to use the room after you, so make sure that your practice finishes on time.
Also, on Friday, October 14th, there will also be pre-registration available beginning at 1pm at Academic Concourse. Conference services will be on site to pass out team registration boxes.
