The Synthetic Biology Standards Consortium (SBSC) aims at collectively building the infrastructure to support a fully integrated global synthetic biology enterprise by working on standards for synthetic biology (including reference materials, reference data, reference methods, and documentary standards). The goal of the SBSC kick-off workshop is to identify several initial working groups with critical mass, leadership teams, and a clear path forward to deliver SBSC standards. Participants are invited to put forth proposals for working group activities.

More information on the workshop, including a draft agenda, candidate workging groups and registration information, is available on the website: http://jimb.stanford.edu/sbsc-kick-off-0315
