International Directed Evolution Competition

About

Objectives: Promoting the development of genetic engineering science, encouraging young scientists to deal with real-world problems, creating a science community that allows public participation, and enriching the diverse international academic communication platform. Activities: 1. iDEC held its second on-site event. Following iDEC’s first on-site event in 2023, the competition was once again successfully held at Homerton College, University of Cambridge. The event ran smoothly, bringing together 14 teams from four countries and around 70 participants, including volunteers. 2. We build bridges for the public, students, and scientists. In 2024, we once again hosted the iDEC Summer Webinar, further broadening its reach and influence. 3. The iDEC festivals provide participants with the opportunity to directly interact and learn from each other. In October 2024, iDEC HQ successfully held the grand iDEC Festival, featuring both on-site and online participation.
