This year, the Hynes Convention Center, located in historic Boston, MA, will host more than 260 international, multidisciplinary teams eager to share and celebrate their work. |

| − | + | ||
| + | <br><br> With 15 tracks available, there is something for everyone!</p> | ||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | + | <p>The iGEM competition encourages university and high school student researchers to work in teams and solve real-world challenges by building genetically engineered biological systems with standard, interchangeable parts called BioBricks from the Registry of Standard Biological Parts. Each team manages their own projects, advocates for their research, and secures funding. Teams are also challenged to actively consider and address the safety, security and environmental implications of their work.</p> | |

September 24 - 28 -- Hynes Convention Center -- Boston, Ma
More than a
Competition
About
The Giant Jamboree is the annual event where all of the collegiate and high school iGEM teams come together to present their synthetic biology projects. This year, the Hynes Convention Center, located in historic Boston, MA, will host more than 260 international, multidisciplinary teams eager to share and celebrate their work.
With 15 tracks available, there is something for everyone!
The iGEM competition encourages university and high school student researchers to work in teams and solve real-world challenges by building genetically engineered biological systems with standard, interchangeable parts called BioBricks from the Registry of Standard Biological Parts. Each team manages their own projects, advocates for their research, and secures funding. Teams are also challenged to actively consider and address the safety, security and environmental implications of their work.

Program
The main focus of the Giant Jamboree is the students sharing and celebrating their research projects. During the Jamboree, every team will present their work through both an oral presentation and a poster.
Teams aim to tackle global issues, raise science and engineering awareness, and help their local communities. Projects span a very broad range of topics but iGEM has a place for everyone. With 15 different tracks, students can develop research projects that have a particular focus.
iGEM Tracks
iGEM projects are developed by students from all over the world. They focus their research and efforts with the help of the iGEM tracks. You can find more information about each track and the teams participating in each one of them by clicking on the track icons.
Schedule
This 5-day event features team presentations and exhibition hall poster sessions on the latest advancements in synthetic biology.
Details will be available soon.
