Being the first iGEM team coming from Lithuania, we strongly agreed that it is our interest and responsibility to broaden the prospects of synthetic biology in our country. Most of the people in Lithuania are still afraid of genetically modified organisms and think of it as 'playing God' and experimenting with people. We wanted to introduce our society with the fact that synthetic biology and genetical engineering is not necessarily bad things and that they are mainly used for scientific purposes. Part of this plan was visiting high school students, who might even become interested in the field of synthetic biology or at least trigger some discussions amongst themselves or the parents.

During the time of our project, we got a lot of attention from local press and other media channels. This was quite an important part of publical outreach - we are the first team to come from Lithuania, so we wanted to trigger more curiousity about iGEM competition and synthetic biology in general. We could not thank more for OMConsulting for their invaluable help to reach information channels.

Publicity

During the time of our project, we got a lot of attention from local press and other media channels. This was quite an important part of publical outreach - we are the first team to come from Lithuania, so we wanted to trigger more curiousity about iGEM competition and synthetic biology in general. We could not thank more for OMConsulting for their invaluable help to reach information channels.
