    Hello from the 2016 University of Westminster iGEM team! We successfully held the UK meet up last year in which teams from Scotland, Ireland and England all came to present and have some fun. It was a great success and an amazing experience. It brought all of the UK teams together and it was a great networking opportunity. We would like to hold it again this year. We are planning to hold it on 17/08/16, 18/08/16 and 19/08/16 at the University of Westminster Marylebone campus 35 Marylebone Road London NW1 5LS.

    We are planning on 2/3 days of iGEM presentations with guest speakers in the synthetic biology field. Additionally we are going to have a few social events, including evenings out and sight seeing as not everyone has seen London and it would be a great bonding opportunity.

    In Valencia UPV team we are very encouraged this year by the presence of two more iGEM teams in Spain! Thus, we decided to make a meetup in Valencia, Spain, with the teams UPO Sevilla and UPF-CRG Barcelona.

    • Friday 19th: the invited teams will present their projects and their progress on dry and wet lab, as well as on other aspects of the iGEM.
      • Saturday 20th:
    • City tour: Valencia is a vibrant and historical city. We will guide the teams through the key points of the city. Teams can connect and get to know each other very well with a relaxed chat in a Valencian terrace.
    • Lunch: an amazing home made barbecue in one of the most known parks in the city.
    • Get to know the trending night places in Valencia, in a special party to share and enjoy with all the teams!
    • Sunday 21st: relaxed morning to share thoughts about the iGEM, the Jamboree and Synthetic Biology.
