A global network of community hubs for interactive learning and discovery
Learn about our interactive computing platform Join our network
We give communities a digital hub with the tools, resources, and data for their workflows
Resource and user management
Interactive interfaces
Computational knowledge bases
Membership in 2i2c’s community network provides access to our hub platform and services so your community can create an share knowledge with your own open infrastructure. We serve over 90 communities in research and education. See our community impact stories for inspiration.

2026 Strategy Update: An increased focus on co-creation
As we wrapped up 2025, we felt compelled to incorporate what we learned over the year into our strategic direction, and to update our organizational documentation accordingly. Here’s a quick rundown of what we learned and how we’re adjusting.
Improving our community hub reliability and stability in Q4 2025
This year we’ve prioritized making the cloud safe to try for our member communities. This has driven work in monitoring, alerting, and automating infrastructure so that we resolve small problems before they become big problems.
Faster reporting of user home directory sizes
Storage quotas help users avoid running out of space unexpectedly and give administrators visibility into capacity planning. However, storage usage can change rapidly, and it’s important to have quick information so that administrators know whether they are close to hitting limits.
Manage and monitor resources and users
Community leaders can manage user access to the hub, and provide each user their own workspace that persists over time.
Design interactive interfaces for data-driven discovery
JupyterLab provides a flexible user interface to create and explore notebooks, interactive visualizations, and computational narratives.

. Example from Neuroglancer-JupyterLab.Choose a community environment, or create your own
Community leaders can offer many environments for users to fit all of their workflows.
and 
. Example from the NASA VEDA project.Share workflows with a community knowledge base.
Shared knowledge bases allow communities to contribute their ideas and work to a shared space that is accessible to the community.
and . Example from the CryoCloud JupyterBook.Share content and interactive links to a hub
Create and share a magic link to instantly share a copy of your content with anyone so that they can interact and explore with live code and data.
and . Example from the Spyglass toolbox paper.Serve linux applications via a remote desktop
You can provide users a full linux UI that provides access to GUI applications via the web.
