    • Animate an online community network for iGEM members (Alumni Profiles, Forum, Online journal club, Classifieds -jobs, projects, studies-)
    • Organize virtual workshops for current/future iGEM members (doc on the wiki, youtube clips, skype conf call for example):
      • "How to set-up an iGEM team (Funding, Academic support, Equipment, ...) ?"
      • "If I had to do it again, how would I do it ?"
      • "Ethical and societal issues in Synthetic Biology."
      • ...
    • Be an online mentor for future iGEM teams (track progresses and give feedbacks on the wiki of the team(s). Organize regular phone conferences with them)
  • Alumni could form a special judging panel at the Jamboree, with their unique prize (the 'Alumni prize'). They could select, with their own set of criteria, the most successful team (could be done purely online for cost reasons)
  • Engage with the Synthetic Biology community
