− | Wastewater pollution is a big problem | + | <b>Wastewater pollution is a big problem</b> throughout the world. In Germany this becomes visible by increasingly high concentrations of <b>diclofenac</b>. This year three German iGEM teams, namely<a href=”https://2020.igem.org/Team:TU_Kaiserslautern”> Kaiserslautern </a>,<a href=”https://2020.igem.org/Team:Stuttgart”> Stuttgart </a>,and <a href=”https://2020.igem.org/Team:TU_Darmstadt”> Darmstadt </a>, are tackling this problem. As we all use laccases for this purpose in all our projects we decided to team up. We <b>exchanged</b> knowledge, <b>shared</b> experts, <b>held</b> a collaborative livestream, and <b>created</b> an overview page for future iGEM teams in wastewater treatment. Thereby, our collaboration grew into a <b>partnership</b> over the course of this year. Our partnership page can be found <a href=”https://2020.igem.org/Team:TU_Darmstadt/Partnership”> here</a>. |

Also, it helped our teams to track our progress. | |

The Oxiteers
Wastewater Europe
iJET
iGEM is a competition that thrives on the fact that intercultural teams network with each other. But what happens when social contact is suddenly restricted and you can no longer meet each other in person?
With our iJET-Collaboration we want to actively ensure that teams from all over the world create a project together. Therefore, we sat down with the iGEM-Team Aachen and together we developed a project that unites us all and brings us closer to our common goal. We got inspiration from Duesseldorfs amazing collaboration idea with postcards getting sent all over the world and wanted to perform something even more symbolic.
We promoted our idea via our instagram @igem_darmstadt and the iGEM HQ and received a lot of positive feedback. 29 teams from 4 continents took part and sent us short video sequences, which we combined into a collaborative video. The cut was realized by a team consisting of people from Aachen and Darmstadt. The video was published on our social media platforms and can also be found here on our Wiki or on Team Aachen’s Wiki ( click here, to see the). After many hours of work, we managed to put together a project that links us together from all over the world. Together we have contributed to connect the iGEM community even stronger.
A world of Snybio (iGEM TU Delft)
HannDa Biofilm Model
Post Card Collaboration (iGEM Düsseldorf)
The team from Duesseldorf collects postcards from every team and afterwards sends one from each team to the teams participating. As every year it was fun to design our postcard and we thank you for all your work and for continuing the tradition of this collaboration every year.
Meetups
We enjoyed the Meetups and are really grateful for the great alternative to the previously known meetups. As usually we got the opportunity to meet other teams and get to know their projects. Furthermore, the online poster sessions and the videos for the German meetup were a good opportunity to practice for the giant jamboree. It also helped to receive feedback from other teams. We enjoyed expert talks and also got inspiration on how to deal with the changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, the meetups were very helpful and we would like to thank everyone who was involved in making the meetups possible.
