A message from the Director of the Competition
Dear iGEM Community,
As teams around the globe are excitedly starting their 2020 iGEM experience, many teams are facing serious challenges due to the impact of the novel coronavirus, COVID-19. We want those teams to know that we are aware of your difficulties and that we are hoping for the best for your teammates and families.
If your university or school is closed due to COVID-19, we will extend our Regular Registration period for your team so your team will not have to pay the late fee. If your university or school is closed, please send us an email at hq [AT] igem [DOT] org.
The 2020 Giant Jamboree will still take place this year from October 29-November 2. We will keep you updated as we get closer to the event, in case we need to change the format if COVID-19 impacts travel in October.
We hope everyone in our community stays safe and healthy this year. We will continue to monitor the situation as the iGEM season continues. If you have any questions or concerns, please send us an email.
Best wishes,
Traci Haddock-Angelli, Ph.D.
Director of the Competition
