Our this year’s Human Practices sub-project covers manifold activities. In fact, we investigated various topics in public engagement, education, ethics, safety, and generated a set of advices how iGEM could improve its footprint in the start-up scence. We hosted a panel discussion with five leading experts, developed a educational course, created two tech-moral scenarios and conducted numerous interviews with experts from different fields (scientists, medical doctors, technology communicators, and former iGEM participants). Furthermore, we also strived to quantify our results. We therefore developed a survey and a statistical model to analyze the enabling factors for new ventures that originate from the iGEM competition.
