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.
