The iGEM Ambassador to Europe, Mariel Turkia, arranged the iGEM Alumni Finland Meetup in Turku with the Aboa Turku ry Association.
- Event Date: May 10th, 2024
- iGEM Representatives: Mariel Turkia, iGEM Ambassador to Europe
The event brought together past iGEM members, newcomers, and fans of synthetic biology for an early summer gathering. The meetup began in the sunshine but moved indoors when the Nordic wind picked up.
Attendees enjoyed food and drinks while chatting and sharing stories. Alumni shared amusing memories from their iGEM experiences, providing both entertainment and valuable lessons for the new team members. New iGEMers also gave updates on this year's competition and ongoing projects. Given the positive feedback, there are definite plans to organize another relaxed meetup later this year.
