No matter how great an idea is, it will be impossible to realize if it is not believed and supported. This year the UCPH team has been very fortunate and has received financial support or other services from the following foundations and companies.

Novo Nordisk

We were unbelievably happy when we got back the reply from Novo Nordisk Foundation. They believed in our project and supported Ovulaid with a very substantial grant. We are very thankful for their support. Without them our project would not have become a reality.

The University of Copenhagen Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences

We want to thank the Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences (PLEN) for managing the UCPH iGEM team and letting us use their laboratories and other facilities. Furthermore, we want to thank PLEN for sponsoring the Nordic iGEM Conference and for providing funds, spaces, equipment, and help, ensuring a successful three-day conference.

University of Copenhagen

We would like to express our gratitude to the University of Copenhagen for supporting the iGEM teams through the years and the support we received from KU’s Almene Fond, SCIENCEpuljen, and Puljen for Innovation og Entreprenørskab.

River Stone Biotech

We are really thankful for the support we received from River Stone Biotech. Their help was instrumental in realizing the Nordic iGEM Conference.

GenScript

Thank you to GenScript for sponsoring the Nordic iGEM Conference and providing all attendees with notebooks and USB sticks for the scavenger hunt winners!

Integrated DNA Technologies

IDT offered us 20 kbp of free sequences. We ordered all our templates from them and we were very happy with the quality.

SnapGene

For the second year in a row SnapGene has been so kind as to offer our team free licenses to their excellent software, for which we are very grateful.

JA

Thank you to JA for sponsoring a meal at the Nordic iGEM Conference.

Macrogen

Many thanks to Macrogen for sponsoring the Nordic iGEM Conference, giving pens for the participants and delivering prizes for winners of the conference.

WeFood

We would like to say thanks to Wefood, an organization dedicated to combat food waste. Thanks to them we did not run short on snacks during the Nordic iGEM Conference and were able to spread awareness about food waste.

Foodsharing Copenhagen

For the Nordic iGEM Conference, we collaborated with Foodsharing Copenhagen, an organization fighting food waste, that works for providing everyone (individuals, communities, and businesses) with knowledge, tools, and power to act, care and share food, without any compromise! A huge thanks to them for donating delicious foods that would otherwise have been wasted.

PharmaDanmark

PharmaDanmark were so kind to provide our team with the signature Ovulaid T-shirt, that has followed us on our backs from Paris to Vilnius to Brussels and soon to Boston.

IDA

Thank you to IDA for providing us with hoodies for the entire team! This way we'll be able to stay warm during the cold October days in Boston while still staying fashionable.
