Mr. MA Ting Martin, one our team members, also paid a visit to the ETH Zürich (Eidgen?ssische Technische Hochschule Zürich ) iGEM on behalf of the Tsinghua team.

The meeting was set to the afternoon of 4th September in Zürich. First, Georg Ofenbeck, communication officer of the ETH team, showed Mr. Ma around their laboratory in the main campus of ETH, which resides in the heart of the Zürich. After that, they two traveled to the suburb of the city, where the science park of ETH is located, to meet another member of the ETH team, Sebastian, who is responsible for the technical design and execution of their project. In the main cafeteria, Georg and Sebastian gave a brief presentation of their project and their current progress. Mr. Ma was very interested in how they managed the project and how instructors interacted with student, and they exchanged their information on this in detail. Then Mr. MA also gave a presentation of the project in Tsinghua, with brochures distributed. Members of the ETH team showed intense interests, and asked several technical questions in the Q&A session. At last, Mr. Ma offered two china cups from Tsinghua University to the ETH team and they exchanged their best regards.

The meeting with the ETH team lasted for about 3 hours, and was very successful. This was the first time we meet iGEM teams abroad, which enabled us a unique opportunity to know more about our peers and establish friendship with them.
