This international panel explores how neuroscience is taught across diverse educational, cultural, and economic contexts worldwide. Designed for educators, researchers, trainees and programme leads it will highlight how neuroscience education adapts to local resources, languages and needs, with particular focus on low-resource settings. Sessions will map the global landscape of neuroscience teaching, exchange practical approaches (including low-resource, innovative teaching such as hybrid/digital and AI-supported methods), raise awareness of inequities, and catalyse new collaborations. Panellists will discuss who their learners are, where teaching happens, and how neuroscience education adapts to local resources, languages, and needs. Through comparative insights, innovative teaching approaches and future-focused discussion, this session highlights global challenges as well as practical solutions. The event will host a global snapshot of neuroscience education through panellist discussion of individual case studies in their region, followed by structured networking and thematic discussion on themes covering: low-resource teaching, curriculum design, outreach and public engagement.
