New Invitation Letter System

Visa letter system image

We have a new way for iGEM team members to get their visa invitation letters. Instead of emailing your information to iGEM HQ, you can enter your information on your 'My Account' page, submit it, and download your invitation letter.

See the Visa page for instructions and details.

Jamboree: Visas

Visa letter image Deadline: June 1
If you require an invitation letter from iGEM Headquarters in order to obtain a visa to travel to the Jamboree, you must request the letter by June 1. In iGEM 2008 there were several teams that were not able to attend the Jamboree due to visa problems. In order to avoid a similar problem this year, we are asking that all teams apply for visas by June 1 at the latest. See the Visa page for more details and information.

    Important details:
  • The distribution is shipped as (3) 384-well plates of dried DNA.
  • The distribution does not contain the complete set of parts in the Registry. Instead it is made up of a smaller subset of high quality parts and iGEM 2008 team favorite parts.
  • Kits will be shipped via USPS for US teams and via DHL for non-US teams. Tracking numbers will be available on request.
Q: What do we do with these plates?
Find out how to locate parts in the plates and what to do with them on the Registry 2009 DNA distribution page.
Many thanks to our iGEM 2009 technicians, Paul, Jess, and Vinoo, (pictured above) for their hard work in preparing this year's DNA distribution.
