Visa invitation letters
The visa invitation letter system is online! If you will be applying for a travel visa in order to attend the Giant Jamboree in the fall, you can use this online system to generate a visa invitation letter for your application. See the Visa help page for instructions on how to obtain your invitation letter. Be sure to apply as soon as possible, since the visa application process can often take longer than expected.
Giant Jamboree attendees should apply for a B-1 travel visa, which allows the visa holder to attend and present at conferences.
Standard Wiki Pages
We're introducing a big change to how team wikis will be evaluated this year. We have created standard pages with static links for all awards and for most medal criteria. If your team wants to be evaluated for an award, you will need to document your achievements related to this award on a standard page. For more information and all the template page links, see here: Standard Pages.
2015 DNA Distribution Kits
The 2015 DNA Distribution Kits have shipped! All registered and accepted iGEM teams will receive a kit. Don’t know if your team has been accepted? Look for your team name in blue on the Team List. Not accepted? Something may be missing from your application.
