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 a Meeting of Minds. According to a Eurobarometer survey in 2011, only 17% of the European citizens have heard of Synthetic Biology. Thus, time to start fostering political and public opinion making on SynBio. Join the debate at the VU, beginning at 19:00 h and get to know fellow iGEM members.
Practice presentation
During the Meeting of Minds session at Friday night (September 30th), the teams will be allowed to practice their presentations at the VU. There are a limited number of rooms available, so please sign up online on the practice sessions page to reserve your time-slot. Practice sessions will run from 18:00 to 21:00 h. We cannot match the practice room with the room that you will give your presentation in on Saturday.
