The Impact Scholars Program was created in 2023 by a team of dedicated Climatematch volunteers to support the real-world impact of student projects launched during the July Academy, recognizing that a few weeks of project work during the Academy is rarely enough to realize the full innovative potential of its diverse, interdisciplinary teams.

Since then, the program has expanded into a cross-Academy initiative that includes scholars from all Neuromatch and Climatematch courses. Each year, scholars collaborate on research projects that culminate in:

• Micropublications
  
• Summaries for the general public
  
• Seminar presentations
  

Explore past micropublications on our Zenodo Repository and take a look at scholar presentations on our Youtube channels (2023, 2024). 

Acknowledging our roots

This program would not exist without the passion and effort of its founding volunteers. See the original volunteer team here:
