What is Climatematch Academy?
The climate science community is underrepresented, particularly by the global populations most affected by climate impacts. Climatematch Academy is an inclusive program designed to bridge this gap by training individuals from diverse backgrounds to tackle real-world climate challenges using cutting-edge techniques.
“From Data to Action,” we focus on increasing education and networking access, promoting diverse scientific contributions, and fostering a global community of climate scientists and stakeholders to drive meaningful change.
We do this through live courses, interactive projects, professional development, networking, and research experiences in an inclusive, supportive, all-online environment.

Who is Climatematch Academy?
We are a volunteer-led organization run by computational climate science enthusiasts from all over the world. From students to faculty to industry professionals, our volunteers are invested in creating globally accessible science education and building inclusive communities for scientists to learn, grow, network, and discover. See our team here.
Live Classes for Computational Climate Science Education
We provide a live, online course in computational climate science:
Learn cutting-edge techniques from climate science experts, implement them in guided Python tutorials, and collaborate on team research projects using real-world and modeled data to explore climate change’s social and environmental effects.
All courses have hands-on, computational components, group research projects, and professional development experiences.
You may also find interest in exploring our program in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, which complements the skills learned here. You can learn more about our education programs here.

Research Experiences in Computational Climate Science
For those looking for a more intensive, longer-term research experience than our courses, we offer the Impact Scholar Program (ISP). In this 6 month program, participants partner with a group of 2-5 others based on shared research interests and submit a proposal to complete a novel research project that results in an open-access publication.
Program characteristics:
- Computational resources to complete your research
- Ongoing professional development for all cohort members, including mentorship from experts in the field
- Published research article with peer feedback
- Opportunities to present and showcase your research to a wide audience
Through this impact-focused program, participants will work with a team of collaborators to do a more intensive exploration of the open climate data sets used in our climate science course and focus on research that has the potential for local change. Professional development in this program further emphasizes how to drive impact through community-focused research.
