We are super lucky here in Europe to have a thriving iGEM communities and collective representation!
The sub-regional associations are excellent at providing local context to iGEM related challenges in their sub-regions. The purpose of this forum is to connect iGEMers to your local associations and provide a space to raise and discuss collective european issues such as but not limited to:
University recognition of iGEM teams
Support with collective grant applications
Policy and advocacy opportunities
