iGEM X Just One Giant Lab (JOGL)

The SDGs on JOGL
iGEM 2020 program on JOGL has different challenges with a myriad of projects submitted to these challenges. The projects tackle individual aspects of a challenge, a challenge addresses a specific aspect of a program, and a program is the umbrella under which all these are housed. The iGEM 2020 program has 4 different challenges, each targeting a specific group of SDGs:
- Fundamental Needs - Goals 2,3 and 6
- Socio-Economic Needs - Goals 1, 4, 5, 8, 10, 11, 16 and 17
- The Environment - Goals 13, 14 and 15
- Industrial Needs - Goals 7, 9 and 12
All 2020 iGEMers can sign up for the program and submit projects to any of these challenges. Given that some projects will address multiple SDGs, teams can pick one SDG as the focal point of their project, use that to inform what challenge they want to participate in and simply indicate all SDGs their project will address when creating their project on JOGL. For more details on how to join JOGL and submit your projects to the iGEM 2020 program, follow the directions given in the visual onboarding guide.
Resources on JOGL
The 2020 iGEM season is an unusual one because of the pandemic. With a lot of labs closed globally, most teams have been restricted to a dry lab only project. The iGEM 2020 Program on JOGL gives iGEMers a chance to pursue Dry lab - Wet lab partnerships. With its new and improved interface, the JOGL platform offers iGEMers a more effective collaboration tool where they can list the needs of their project to make their projects easier to find for their “helpers”.
Let's start collaborating!
