                      matured in the past decades regarding performance and
                      flexibility. But the entry barrier remains high for students
                      and early career scientists in computational neuroscience
                      since these simulators typically require programming skills
                      and a complex installation. Here, we describe an
                      installation-free Graphical User Interface (GUI) running in
                      the web browser, which is distinct from the simulation
                      engine running anywhere, on the student’s laptop or on a
                      supercomputer. This architecture provides robustness against
                      technological changes in the software stack and simplifies
                      deployment for self-education and for teachers. Our new open
                      source tool, NEST Desktop, comprises graphical elements for
                      creating and configuring network models, running
                      simulations, and visualizing and analyzing the results. NEST
                      Desktop allows students to explore important concepts in
                      computational neuroscience without the need to learn a
                      simulator control language before. Our experiences so far
                      highlight that NEST Desktop helps advancing both quality and
                      intensity of teaching in computational neuroscience in
                      regular university courses. We view the availability of the
                      tool on public resources like the European ICT
                      infrastructure for neuroscience EBRAINS as a contribution to
                      equal opportunities.},
