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>
