iGEM Ambassadors & Promoters
The iGEM Ambassadors represent and promote iGEM and synthetic biology all across the globe. You can connect with your regional Ambassadors:
To start an iGEM Competition team in your region.
To access resources built for prospective teams, current teams and alumni from different iGEM Programs.
To organize events in your region for connecting iGEMers or the general synbio community.
To discover how to stay engaged with iGEM Community and explore our opportunities for iGEMers around the world.
Connect with our Ambassadors at ambassadors@igem.org, and discover your regional representatives! Learn more about the Ambassador Program.
iGEM Leagues
iGEM Leagues are developed to enable the local development of synthetic biology. Through the iGEM Leagues, iGEMers and members of their local synthetic biology can design programs that will contribute to provide an iGEM experience everywhere.
The iGEM Leagues Program is paused. Learn more...
SynBio Associations
Many iGEMers are making an impact in their local communities through regional synthetic biology associations and other informal organizations. The Global Alliance of SynBio Associations (SynBio Alliance) started in 2020 with the mission to connect these associations and recognize their contributions to the advancement of synthetic biology.
If you are part of or know a synbio-related organization, or even would like to start your own association: We want to hear from you! Learn more about the SynBio Alliance.
