Mini Jamboree

What is the Mini Jamboree like? See for yourself with the summary of the Mini Jamboree 2024!

On Monday October 7th, our team organized the Benelux and Germany Mini Jamboree. This is an annual event organized by iGEM TU-Eindhoven teams and takes place after the Wiki Freeze and before the Grand Jamboree. The Mini Jamboree is a spin-off of the Grand Jamboree, providing an opportunity for teams from the Benelux and Germany to practice their pitch in front of a knowledgeable audience. It is an ideal event to receive valuable feedback from scientists and students working in the field of synthetic biology ahead of the Grand Jamboree.

The event was held at Eindhoven University of Technology and will feature 12 teams from Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany. The teams were asked to prepare a presentation which they will present in front of other teams and a panel of knowledge judges from different backgrounds. The teams were also asked to prepare a poster which would also be included in the judging process. There are three awards to win: one for best project, one for best poster and a public prize.

As mentioned earlier, the teams will prepare a poster, which will be displayed during the networking market. This allows teams to engage with sponsors and learn more about their work. The poster market also offers an opportunity for teams to interact with one another, ask questions about their projects, and discuss their overall iGEM experience.

We would like to congratulate the winners of the Mini Jamboree 2024!
