Registration payment note

Please note that the main payment page for iGEM Competition registrations will move from https://www.igemregistration.org to https://www.igemregistration.org/igemcompetition as of today.

Already submitted your team application?

Once your team PI has submitted the team application, team fee, and shipping information, iGEM Headquarters will review all the information. The team will be approved, or iGEM HQ will contact you for more details. Note this is a manual process, not automatic, so it may take a few days! We will be as efficient as possible when it comes to accepting iGEM team applications. You can contact us with questions at registration AT igem DOT org

In the meantime, you can begin adding other users to your team roster! Visit the Registration Handbook for information about managing the team roster.

Consent Forms for High School Teams

High school teams will also need to submit a principal consent form, and a participant consent form for the team PI as part of their registration process. High school team rosters are managed by iGEM HQ and are approved based on the participant consent forms received. See the Consent Form page for more information and links to the forms.

Participating this year? Get Connected: Join the 2021 Global Slack
