The annual international Genetically Engineered Machines student competition iGEM is a perfect match with SYNENERGENE. SYNENERGENE wants to include a number of iGEM teams in the program activities by offering small grants for scenario development in iGEM projects. For the 2014 iGEM edition 8 promising proposals have been selected. We asked Dirk Stemerding and Virgil Rerimassie, both from the Rathenau Institute and coordinators of this activity, how this approach fits in SYNENERGENE’s goals.
