<p><b>Description:</b> This is a meet up that is hosted, by ASTWS_China (starter), Worldshaper_XSHS, and ZJU-iGEM, three 2019 iGEM teams. This meet-up mainly focuses on getting high school iGEM teams in China to be helped by College teams, officials guides from iGEM and even scholars from local universities. During this session, we are also looking forward to the collaboration between teams and the increase of the bond of those iGEMers of 2019. We sincerely hope that with the help of iGEM high school committee, we would have another great year of growth and learning experience this summer. </p>
 +
<p>This event is confirmed and participated with the after iGEM highschool committee. </p>

<p><b>Description:</b> Conference of China iGEMer Community (CCiC), is a national-wide meet up launched by several Chinese iGEM participating universities. It is the biggest synthetic biology conference in China. Over last five years, there were approximately 200 teams and 2000 people participated. CCiC is now more than a simple iGEM meet up, but a national-wide academic conference for all junior synbio lovers with vitality, and a platform for the senior synbio leaders, to pass on their passion to the next generation. Teams can do presentations and have poster sessions, we also prepared lots of workshops and lectures to link iGEMers to the frontier of synthetic biology.</p>
