Questions and Information
If you have a question or need help at any point during the Jamboree, you can visit the information centre in the foyer of the VU Main building or look for one of the iGEM staff members on site wearing light blue coloured polo’s.
Jamboree Schedule
We have prepared a program for the poster and presentation sessions.
On-site Registration/Check-in
Teams can check-in on Friday afternoon (September 30th) for the Jamboree beginning at 16.00 h. Registration will be located in the foyer of the VU Main building.
At Registration you will pick up your team box. One team member is sufficient for picking up the team box; otherwise it will be too crowed at the registration desk. This means that each member of the team DOES NOT have to stand in line.
To receive your team box, bring a filled-out release form from each team member that is registered for the Jamboree.
Guests can check-in on Friday (September 30th) from 16.00 h until 19.30 h at the registration desk.
Team Boxes
Your team box will contain the following:
- Team member badges
- Jamboree Handbook with general information, program, schedule, map of the VU campus
- Lunch Tickets
- Team member certificates
- Sponsor Information
Note: One team member is responsible for picking up the team box and distribute the badges, tickets and the program books. Please wear your badges at all times.
Badges
You will receive your name badge as part of your team box. Please wear your badge at all times during the Jamboree. Badges will be necessary for entrance into presentation rooms, for access to food and for the iGEM social event.
Team Spirit
At the Jamboree you will be representing your team, university, and country, so why not show off! Designing team t-shirts is always a good idea. Make sure to distinguish your team and be well visible in the iGEM group picture. Wear your team's logo, name, or give a nod to your team's sponsors. We also encourage you to find new ways to showcase your team spirit.
Meeting of Minds
In the night before the team presentations (September 30th), the Rathenau Instituut and the European iGEM organization invites you and political youth organizations for the Meeting of Young Minds. According to a Eurobarometer survey in 2011, only 17% of the European citizens have heard of Synthetic Biology. Thus, time to convince especially future political leaders on the progress and possibilities of SynBio. Join the debate at the VU, beginning at 19.30 h, and get to know your fellow iGEM members opinion and political considerations. There will also be food and drinks provided on a first come, first serve basis. Please see the Meeting of Minds chapter for information about the statements that will be discussed.
Practice presentation
During the Meeting of Minds session at Friday night (September 30th), the teams are welcome to practice their presentations. There are a limited number of room’s available, sign up online on the practice sessions page to reserve your time-slot. Practice sessions will run from 18.00 to 20.00 h.We cannot match the practice room with the room that you will give your presentation in on Saturday.
Note: There will be no technical assistance. Please leave all presentation rooms in the condition that you found them.
