Goals for 2026
  • Increase visibility and enrollment in both Neuromatch Academy and Climatematch Academy by raising awareness across global and targeted audiences.
  • Reach and actively engage students where they do not have direct access to computational education programs or research at their local institution, ensuring equitable access and inclusion.
  • Grow and leverage a segmented mailing list to deliver personalized, relevant communications to different audience groups (neuroscience vs climate science).
  • Build and nurture a strong community of alumni,   advocates, and ambassadors  who actively promote and support the Academies.
  • Develop a compliant, opt-in outreach contact list that respects privacy laws (e.g., GDPR, CAN-SPAM) by seeking consent before sending communications and maintaining updated, verified contacts.
