SynBio Associations at the Grand Jamboree
The Global Alliance of SynBio Associations (SynBio Alliance) aims to connect associations and synbio-related organizations, recognizing their contributions to the advancement of synthetic biology. In 2022, we brought them together, in-person at the iGEM Grand Jamboree in Paris!

Jamboree Recap
Attendees were able to discover SynBio Associations at the iGEM Community Exhibition: iGEMers in the Synbio World. It was a chance to get inspired by the work of others and share perspectives regarding the global synthetic biology ecosystem. What do you want to see in the future? What is the importance of international collaboration in synbio? And many more… See the SynBio Alliance Jamboree Board!
We also hosted different sessions on Village Stages, which you can re-watch now!
The Challenges and Opportunities of Fostering SynBio Associations
SynBio Associations aim to connect and build synthetic biology communities both locally and beyond. In iGEM Community, we are working to bring these organizations together, fostering collaboration and mutual support. Join us as we discuss the current scenario of associations, and how they create opportunities and shape the synthetic biology landscape in different places. Panelists: Vinca Seiler (GASB), Sabrina Yeo Samuel (Taiwan Synbio Alliance), Claudia Moratti( SynBio Australasia), Muhammad Farhan Maulana (Synbio.id).
Building Bridges: Connecting Synbio Communities Worldwide
iGEMers know the importance of engaging and including our society in the scientific conversation; and the power of working together to overcome gaps in synthetic biology. Many take these learnings to continue making an impact in their local communities, through SynBio Associations and other informal organizations. Talks by: Darshak Bhatt (SynBioNL), Mingzhe Chen (CCiC), Luiza Hesketh (SynBioBR), Geoffrey Otim (SynBio Africa), Alejandra Sierra (Allbiotech).
