Practices

iGEM teams often "go beyond the lab" and 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 Policy & Practices topic areas

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

On this page, you should write about the Policy & 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).
