Welcome to iGEM Aachen 2016

Beyond The Basics

To achieve a great outreach we worked on many more projects in the field of public relations.

Special events

NRW Day

Figure 1: Presenting our topic in Düsseldorf


This year the state North-Rhine Westphalia celebrated its 70th birthday, with event days for the public, in its capital Düsseldorf. Because of that, the iGEM Team Düsseldorf invited members of our team and other iGEM teams from North Rhine Westphalia to come to Düsseldorf. Here we were given the possibility to present our project idea to the public and to talk about the advantages of synthetic biology. This gave us the chance to review our project and integrate the opinions, fears and ideas from other people. We want to thank the iGEM team Düsseldorf for organizing this

Future Lab Gala


Future lab is a gala organized by different institutes an ornganizations in Aachen to present Aachen as the perfect place for research, science and industry. During this gala, the participants presented themselves with the help of scientific experiments, art and speeches. It was a great opportunity for us to get in touch with politicans, people from the industry and different universities and to tell them about iGEM and our project.
