Take the 2020 iGEM Experience Survey
We introduced a lot of new things to the competition in 2020. If you participated on an iGEM team this year, please take this survey to let us know about your experience in the 2020 iGEM Competition, and help to build an even better program for 2021!
This survey should only take 15 minutes to complete.
