Proposing a Project

If you’re looking for a community and a platform to build a project around any synbio topic, we encourage you to propose it through our Project Head applications.

Joining a Project

Everyone is invited to get involved in different projects that impact and benefit our community! You can find a project that resonates with you on our website, and reach out to the Project Head on how you can join and contribute to their work.

Applications for Project Heads are now closed! If you're interested, please email community@igem.org


In iGEM Community, we work to provide tools and resources that will help you create projects that are beneficial for the iGEM and the synthetic biology community.

In 2023, we had 23 active projects! To bring their brilliant ideas to life, our Project Heads went through a 4-week Bootcamp where they were provided with guidelines and resources on project ideation, leadership and management.

In 2024, the new cohort of Project Heads went through the same Bootcamp, building upon existing projects and bringing their novel ideas to life! We're so excited to share these amazing projects with the synthetic biology community! Hear from our Project Heads (new and returning!) through this collection of short pitches!
