๐ข General explainer below
Since 2020, Neuromatch has trained 11,625 students across 122 countries, with 54% from low- and middle-income economies. We have also hosted 17 language pods to help meet the needs of students.
This is what global access to computational science looks like!

Two key takeaways stood out at #SONA2025:
โก๏ธ Open-access datasets from Africa are emerging. But barriers to broader data sharing remain.
โก๏ธ Equitable, collaborative partnerships between high- and low-income research communities are essential to global progress.

Neuromatch was proud to attend #SONA2025 and host a booth at the Society of Neuroscientists of Africa conference in Marrakesh, Morocco. We left energized by the depth of innovation and powerful conversations around building a more inclusive future for neuroscience.
