Neuromatch: Building a Global Ecosystem for NeuroAI Training & Innovation
Abstract: Neuromatch is a global nonprofit advancing equitable access to the computational sciences, artificial intelligence, and related disciplines. Over the past six years, Neuromatch has reached more than 13,000 early-career researchers across 135 countries, delivering accessible, high-impact programming in computational neuroscience, deep learning, and NeuroAI. In this talk, I will share how Neuromatch’s innovative approaches to online education, career development, and field-building are shaping the next generation of NeuroAI researchers — advancing equitable participation, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, and accelerating scientific discovery and innovation worldwide.
