The University of Calgary hosted the 6th edition of their JulyGem event wherein they invited iGEM teams and various esteemed guest speakers representing academia and industry.
- Event Date: July 28th, 2024
- iGEM Representative: Muskaan Puri, iGEM Ambassador to North America
The participating iGEM teams came from the University of Alberta, the University of Lethbridge and the University Calgary.
Muskaan represented iGEM at the event and interacted with the teams - providing them feedback on their projects and presentations and sharing opportunities by iGEM Community.
The event was a success and various iGEMers were able to network, collaborate, learn about each other's project as well as gain valuable feedback about their own project which would help them improve and prepare for the 2024 iGEM Grand Jamboree. They were also able to network with the speakers and judges, which ultimately helped them get great perspective with regards to their project for the long term.
