Note: Registration for the experimental track is not yet open. Check back in the next few weeks for more details.

For iGEM 2009 we will are opening up an experimental track for individuals or small teams that are interested in participating in iGEM in a limited capacity. These non-competition teams will have a chance to present a flash 5-minute presentation and present a poster at an exposition section of the iGEM 2009 Jamboree on October 30 - November 2, 2009. Non-competition teams will not be eligible for the standard prizes from the iGEM judging committee but might be eligible for a single award specific to non-competition teams.


Team Application

Registration for the experimental track will begin in March 2009. Be aware that it is a separate registration than the normal iGEM 2009 team registration! Details on how to apply to be a non-competition team will be provided at 2009.igem.org once they become available.

Non-competition teams will be required to pay a team registration fee and any Jamboree attendance fees.

Team registration fee: $500.00 USD per team
Jamboree attendance fee: $175.00 USD per undergraduate (or high school student); $375.00 USD per graduate student/instructor/other
