The IYNA Neuroscience Summer Courses is an online program run by the International Youth Neuroscience Association (IYNA). The historical 2026 offering combined expert-led lectures, hands-on problem solving, and research skills with a global cohort. The exact age, school-enrollment, and country eligibility for a future cycle have not been confirmed.
The published 2026 course options were: Neuroscience I (beginner-level) and Neuroscience II (advanced). Each course has two participation tracks: the Participant Track (flexible attendance, no homework or project) and the Capstone Track (20–25 hours per week, mandatory lectures, homework, and a research capstone project). Students may dual-enroll in both courses with different tracks. An optional symposium is held after the main program concludes.
The 2026 program began June 22. The official FAQ says July 31 for its end, while the timeline says August 1; this conflict is unresolved. The optional symposium was listed for August 8. Applications were due May 15, 2026; no 2027 application window is inferred.
Checked November 3, 2026 against the official program page and its linked application form, which reports it is no longer accepting responses. The page confirms the March 1 opening, May 15 cutoff, and June 15 confirmation milestone for 2026, while retaining contradictory end dates. The FAQ-specific application instructions above are historical; future dates and eligibility are unknown.
