The Network positions iGEM alumni to participate in the field’s larger context, such as policy discussions and public consultations, and encourages them to develop governance solutions. They also aim to help members of our community understand and navigate local regulations and governance that apply to their synthetic biology work.
Network in 2021
For this year, the Steering Group of the Governance and Policy Network aims to:
- Encourage our community to participate in open public policy consultations on topics related to synthetic biology
- Build an understanding of global governance of synthetic biology by mapping out local policies
- Create contexts, such as policy hackathons, where the iGEM community can develop governance solutions
- Create a team of policy representatives that can assist teams in navigating local governance and policy issues
