Outreach

Our work is worth little if our results are not accepted or wanted by the public. Therefore learning about the perception of synthetic biology is crucial. Additionally, to gain the trust of the public a sound ethical foundation as a base for our work is necessary. In our survey we learned, that most people only accept synthetic biology if they feel educated about the subject. Therefore we went to schools to teach students some synthetic biology fundamentals. Finally we collaborated with other iGEM teams which is beneficial for both sides and boosts the impact of our project.

Survey

We conducted a survey to shed light on the perception of synthetic biology in Belgium.

Public Engagement

How we engaged generally and intra university-wise.

Ethics

What we learned from a panel of experts we invited to discuss ethical and legal questions.

Education

We went teaching and devised an educational card game, which is fun to play.

Collaborations

We collaborated with other teams to improve both projects.

Symposium

We hosted a symposium with other iGEM teams attended and got interesting speakers to broaden our horizons.
