Safety & Security in iGEMiGEM is unique in its comprehensive and thorough approach to synthetic biology. Fostering an environment of mindful and responsible work is a key facet of iGEM, and was the focus of the first iGEM Safety and Security retreat held in February in Granada, Spain.In February 2017, iGEM held it's first Safety and
Security Retreat. The meeting brought together experts from around the world, and looked at both emerging issues that could challenge safety and security in synthetic biology and what iGEM might need to do to address them. Efforts at the meeting were expert-led, drawing upon the collective knowledge present to help identify issues iGEM will need to deal with in the shorter-term and those we will need to consider in the years to come. This meeting was the first in a series of planned events on safety and security.
