*What is Neuromatch Academy?*
Neuromatch Academy (NMA) teaches computational techniques crucial for success in academia and industry. It serves thousands of students each year with hundreds of teaching assistants (TA). Students learn by solving problems in small groups and by running group projects; they learn in many languages in an incredibly supportive environment.
*What’s in a course?*
Our courses are intensive 3-week programs involving hands-on tutorials developed by experts in the field. Accepted students are placed into TA-led pods (groups) using the Neuromatch algorithm, which matches students with common interests who are in the same timezone and their preferred language for instruction. Students also receive personalized support as they work through hands-on tutorials and collaborate on course projects. [Please note that course participation requires active attendance and attention of the students for 3 weeks.]
*Why should you apply to NMA?*
This program provides a dynamic learning experience that fuses neuroscience and computational techniques. Collaborate with a global community of experts and peers, hone your problem-solving skills, and build a supportive network that celebrates inclusivity and accessibility in science education. Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to advance your knowledge and skills.
Apply to unlock your potential and propel your career forward!
*What does it cost?*
Neuromatch Academy’s mission is to make education affordable to everybody, no matter their financial background. We do this by pricing our courses significantly lower than other summer schools, adjusting for national economic factors, and allowing students to pay what they can when those adjustments are insufficient.

*NeuroBridges 2023*
*A Mediterranean, Middle Eastern Summer School in Neuroscience*
*Deadline to apply: May 15, 2023*
*NeuroBridges 2023* is a summer school which will take place between
*September 3 and September 14, 2023* in Le Centre de Conferences
Internationales de Cluny, France (CCIC).
The school will provide an overview of theoretical and experimental
frameworks used to study a variety of *decision making* processes. It
will cover different model systems from rodents to humans and a plethora
of decision making mechanisms.
Another objective of Neurobridges is to bring together *Mediterranean
and Middle Eastern scientists*, in order to promote scientific
cooperation between young researchers from these countries. The
organizers of NeuroBridges are convinced that such scientific
collaborations can lead to personal relations, which eventually may
alleviate the political distress in the Middle East.
The school is intended for graduate students and postdocs, primarily,
but not only, from the Middle East and the Mediterranean region, either
working in their home countries or abroad. Applicants should have some
background in related fields in neuroscience or cognitive psychology.
*All costs of registration and accommodation will be covered by the
organizers. A limited number of travel grants will be also be available*.
*NeuroBridges 2023 Faculty:* Alaa Ahmed (U. Colorado), Carlos Brody
(Princeton), Iain Couzin (MPI), Roozbeh Kiani (NYU), Carole Levenes
(CNRS), Drazen Prelec (MIT), Rava Azeredo da Silveira (IOB and CNRS) and
Yoram Yovell (Hadassah Hebrew U. Medical Center).
*NeuroBridges* is co-organized by Ahmed El Hady (MPI, Konstanz,
Germany), Yonatan Loewenstein (Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel)
and David Hansel (CNRS, Paris, France).
