Support our community and initiatives

Why support us?

Fund our events and organization

Synthusiasts is a relatively new student organization and in order to maintain our presence and to fund our events, we often require miscellaneous fees which are costly.
The Synthetic Biology Solutions Challenge provides students with awards and prizes for their creative and critical thinking and collaboration. These prizes can come in many forms. Historically, they have been monetary and technology prizes.

Speak at our events

The Synthetic Biology Solutions Challenge requires the expertise of professionals in relevant industry, community, and academia fields to provide keynote speeches and judge our competitions. Such expertise is valuable for students to develop their knowledge and critical thinking. Often, it is difficult for student groups to establish and develop relationships with professionals in such areas.

Therefore, we would love to invite you to become involved in our events. We can further this dialogue and discussion through our main email: synbio@ualberta.ca. Your support will be greatly valued.
