Revision as of 01:25, 17 February 2020

We know it’s not always easy to navigate the human practices issues that emerge as you’re working on your iGEM project. The Human Practices Committee is here to help!

Contact

Contact the committee via email at: humanpractices [AT] igem [DOT] org

You can ask us questions like:

Does a particular aspect of my team’s project count more as public engagement or as integrated human practices?
Can you recommend any points of contact to ask about synthetic biology policy in my country?
What is the iGEM protocol around conducting interviews with stakeholders?

We’re happy to clarify medal criteria, help you to plan engagement with people outside of your team, and otherwise assist with your human practices work. You might also want to read through the FAQ on the What Is Human Practices? Page.
