Neuromatch 2026 applications open — Deep Learning, Computational Neuroscience, NeuroAI, Climate Science. Free to apply, closes March 15

[Muriah Umoquit]

Neuromatch runs intensive, live, online courses built around small learning groups called pods, where participants learn collaboratively with peers and a dedicated Teaching Assistant while working on a mentored group project. Pods are matched by time zone, research interests, and when possible, language preference.

The four 2026 course options are:

- 6–24 July: Computational Neuroscience, Deep Learning

- 13–24 July: NeuroAI, Computational Tools for Climate Science

They are great for advanced undergraduates, MSc or PhD students, post-baccalaureates, research staff, and early career researchers; basically anyone preparing for research that intersects neuroscience, machine learning, data science, and modeling, or those who want structured, collaborative learning combined with a hands-on research project in a global cohort.

There is no cost to apply. Tuition is adjusted by local cost of living, and tuition waivers are available during enrollment for those who need them.
