Collaborations

Sharing and collaboration are core values of iGEM. We encourage you to reach out and work with other teams on difficult problems that you can more easily solve together.

Silver Medal Criterion #2

Collaborate with one (or more) 2022 iGEM team(s) in a meaningful way.


Please see the 2022 Medals Page for more information.

Which teams can we work with?


You can work with any other iGEM 2022 team in the competition. You can also work with non-iGEM research groups, but they do not count towards the iGEM team collaboration silver medal criterion.
