Differences in financial support </h5></b> <p>Due to the differences in curricula at each institution, it is natural that the level of priority given to iGEM will vary. At UHAS, we struggled to have support from the University as iGEM was only just introduced, so there wasn’t as much support as we would have expected. There is no easy way around this than to simply get the University familiarized with iGEM, but this takes time. Crowdfunding only started in July which was too late. For future teams, fundraising should begin almost immediately, as soon as a problem has been identified. </p> <b><h5> 4. Access to resources </h5></b> -<p>It wasn’t easy to organise lab work at UHAS because it was during the semester and the final year students had priority in the lab, and the consumables available for iGEM were limited. Luckily, we were sponsored with consumables and reagents from Tractilis Biolabs as the UHAS community wrote to them for sponsorship. and then once the semester ended, we had more lab space to use the consumables. Nonetheless, at the beginning of the project, this should have been clearly defined (March/April). The limitations e.g. Human Practices in Edinburgh, lab space in Ho should be clearly outlined and the project should be planned out around this. </p> +<p>It wasn’t easy to organise lab work at UHAS because lab work coincided with the examinations period and some consumables were not available.

Academic year differences </h5></b> <p>This made it very difficult to find a time that best suited both sides of the team, as UHAS we were completing our semester and final exams during the period of the iGEM competition whiles UoE was on vacation (Table 3). The main way around this is to ensure better planning starting in March, and in hindsight, we underestimated the time commitment to iGEM, so it’s important that any future teams really consider the differences in availabilities due to the academic year structures around the world. </p>
