For 2022 and beyond we will be making a second-generation iGEM Distribution, designed anew and completely rebuilt using synthesis! Doing so will enable us to make the iGEM parts freely available for use and reuse, including beyond the competition itself*. 

Doing so will ALSO enable the iGEM community to make a world-best biotechnology toolkit supporting distributed education and innovation, so that everyone everywhere has a chance to learn to solve problems locally, contributing and participating as citizens of a 21st biocentury.  


However, to do a good job we need your help!  

We are asking you, our iGEM teams and community, to tell us what you really think about the existing or previous Distributions, and what you wish to be true about the iGEM Distribution 2.0. To help us, please answer the questions below!

* iGEM is partnering with the BioBricks Foundation’s Free Genes project to coordinate the design and construction of all materials going into the iGEM Distribution 2.0. Doing so will ensure that all parts will be newly synthesized and provided free-and-clear of property-rights encumbrances. The entire distribution will be made available via the Unilateral OpenMTA, a materials transfer agreement that enables free use and sharing of so-provided samples.
