Human Practices

iGEM teams are unique and leading the field because they "go beyond the lab" to imagine their projects in a social/environmental context, to better understand issues that might influence the design and use of their technologies.

Teams work with students and advisors from the humanities and social sciences to explore topics concerning ethical, legal, social, economic, safety or security issues related to their work. Consideration of these Human Practices is crucial for building safe and sustainable projects that serve the public interest.

Some Human Practices topic areas

• Philosophy
• Public Engagement / Dialogue
• Education
• Product Design
• Scale-Up and Deployment Issues
• Environmental Impact
• Ethics
• Safety
• Security
• Public Policy
• Law and Regulation
• Risk Assessment

On this page, you should write about the Human Practices topics you considered in your project, and document any special activities you did (such as visiting experts, talking to lawmakers, or doing public outreach).
