The field of synthetic biology in general and the iGEM competition in particular are not really well known by the public, and even by the scientists. That is why we think it is essential that we contribute to explain what it is by doing meetings and presentations as much as we can.
Since the beginning of our project, we have been doing several presentations to students from our engineering schools and universities in Grenoble and Saint-Etienne.
We presented the lab we worked in and our iGEM project to future engineer students (Fig 1.). We made presentations at opening classes of second year engineer students, and of course we explained our project to everyone who asked us about it, or about iGEM.

A French-American workshop was organized in Grenoble by the French Embassy, and we made a speech and a poster presentation (Fig 2.).

We were all hosted by several laboratories in Grenoble, and we were abled to make a presentation of our project to some research teams in those labs. For exemple we went at the CEA, the Inria
