Connect with the iGEM Community

One of the most common requests we receive from teams is the ability to easily contact other teams, which usually means people requesting email addresses for other teams. This is a challenging request for us since we respect the privacy of our registered iGEM account users and thus don't give our personal information, including email addresses.

We wanted to find another way to provide a means of easy communication between teams and the rest of the iGEM community since social media clearly wasn't enough.

We are going to implement a new forum for iGEM 2016! We hope this forum will allow teams to easily and openly communicate with one another and the rest of the iGEM community.

The iGEM Forum will be actively moderated by HQ staff and will be open to anyone with an iGEM User Account. More information will be provided in the coming weeks!

iGEM Forum

Be Social

Connect with iGEM HQ, Staff, and Teams on Twitter! The iGEM HQ account keeps an active list of HQ Staff and iGEM Team Twitter accounts, so keep an eye on the HQ Lists. And remember to keep an eye on #iGEM2016!

You can also follow iGEM HQ on Facebook! We post all major announcements on both Twitter and Facebook, as well as on the 2016 Homepage.

Stay connected with us for the latest news about iGEM 2016!

This page is under active development. Please check back often for updates as we prepare for the 2016 season!
