This is incredibly sad. A huge pool of young, fierce talent-living through a 2-month internet blackout, a fragile ceasefire that could break at any moment, practically suspended university classes-turned away from Neuromatch, one of the most noble efforts to democratize education & bridge borders 😔😡

Neuromatch has been denied our Office of Foreign Assets Control "Iran license" renewal. We had renewed successfully before, but now our request is “inconsistent with current U.S. foreign policy.”
I am absolutely gutted by this denial.

We have difficult news to share.
Neuromatch's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) license renewal, which has allowed us to include participants residing in Iran since 2020, has been denied by the United States Government.
