iGEM 2019 Judging Panel
Information for Judges
The role of an iGEM judge goes beyond simply evaluating teams. We have always sought to identify areas of excellence that can be celebrated with our specific awards. But we ask that each judge also consider how their role can be used to elevate the iGEM experience all teams, not just the few that will receive awards. It is an integral part of iGEM's success and we hope you consider joining our voluntary judging team!
