From 2007.igem.org

Now, the iGEM competition of this year is almost finished and we think that could be a good idea to try to evaluate more or less the evolution of our iGEM team. Maybe it could be of interest for people that are thinking on participating in next years competition or could be useful to avoid that other teams makes the same mistakes as us.

This year we took the decision of making a reduced team in such a way that all the people in the team had a clear responsability and role. When the team was formed several general talks were planned in orther to put the proper required background in all the students. Some of this talks were given by the team of professors and advisors, but some of them also by the students. From the educational point of view and as a consequence of the Spanish educational system which is quite encapsulated in areas, this is quite good experience because it allows the interaction of students of different disciplines working in group and they learn to comunicate between them.

The main target of all this formation period
