Meeting Review of the '1st Azerbaijan Neuroscience School: Introduction'

The '1st Azerbaijan Neuroscience School: Introduction' program marked a historic milestone as the first neuroscience education initiative in Azerbaijan. This 12-week online program aimed to bridge the gap between Azerbaijani neuroscience enthusiasts and international experts by delivering foundational knowledge, cutting-edge research insights, and critical thinking skills. The program was open to a diverse audience, ranging from high school students to university-level medical and biology students, as well as early-career researchers and faculty members. The virtual format of the program allowed participants to enroll and join in, regardless of geographical location, which fostered scientific exchange, mentorship, and professional networking. The success of this initiative paved the way for the follow-up events: the 'Azerbaijan Neuroscience School: Advanced', 'International Brain Bee Competition', and the '1st Azerbaijan Neuroscience Conference' in 2024.
