The AlphaFold Education Summit (AFES) was a collaborative initiative designed to enable researchers and educators globally to fully harness the transformative potential of AlphaFold. This event provided a platform to engage with the possibilities and challenges of integrating AlphaFold into scientific research and education. Special focus was given to addressing the unique needs and limitations faced by educators and researchers in under-resourced regions, aiming to enhance both accessibility and practical application in diverse contexts.By providing access to bespoke training, resources, and a supportive community, we aimed to empower scientists to advance their research and address local, regional and global scientific challenges.The goal of the summit was to train and empower researchers, educators and others to upskill and train researchers working in under-resourced regions in the use and application of AlphaFold to their research.
