Neuromatch Comms Toolkit

Welcome to the Neuromatch Toolkit!
This resource is for anyone in the Neuromatch ecosystem; Ambassadors, MEXA participants, Climatematch Academy, Neuromatch Academy, Board and staff members, Impact Scholars Alumni, and more.
The goal: make it easy for you to share your projects, experiences, and achievements with the world, whether in a publication, conference talk, social media post, or casual conversation. 
Here you’ll find guidance, templates, and tips to make sharing simple, consistent, and impactful!



Affiliation

When sharing your Neuromatch related work (publications, presentations, social posts, or projects) it’s helpful to include a Neuromatch affiliation. This acknowledges the community, mentorship, and infrastructure that supported your work and helps others recognize the programs you’re involved in.

Impact Scholars

Required: Include your Neuromatch affiliation for any work that is part of an Impact Scholar Project. We have a specific policy around  how to share your work and use an affiliation for Impact Scholars. 

Volunteers and Alumni

Optional but encouraged: We welcome you to include a Neuromatch affiliation when sharing work related to your volunteer or alumni role.Examples of affiliation formats for different roles:
  • Deep Learning 2025 Teaching Assistant, Neuromatch Academy, Neuromatch, Inc.
  • Volunteer, Climatematch Academy, Neuromatch, Inc.
  • Climatematch Academy Alumni 2024, Neuromatch, Inc.

Please use your Neuromatch affiliation where appropriate. For work that goes beyond Neuromatch projects, either clearly state that you are expressing your personal views and not speaking on behalf of Neuromatch, or avoid using your affiliation if it’s unrelated. If you are unsure, you can always check and ask us at  nma@neuromatch.io 


Using your  nueromatch.io  or  climatematch.io  email

All volunteers, students, and alumni receive a permanent @neuromatch.io or @climatematch.io email address. We encourage you to use it for any Academy-related communications, submissions, or sharing of your work. This ensures your messages are recognized as part of the community and can help you keep communications organized.
