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.
From our blog
The 2i2c blog shares our recent enhancements and impact.
GitHub Action secrets are only available from non-forked repositories!
If you’ve worked with GitHub Actions in open source projects, you might encounter a hard-to-debug error where repository secrets are simply empty. That’s probably because the PR is from a forked repository!
Openscapes is hiring a new team member
Openscapes is hiring a NASA Openscapes Suborbital Team Member to engage with NASA suborbital science teams and support open science practices. This is a part-time contract position (20 hrs/week) starting as early as December 1, 2025, with a 6-month initial term and potential for extension.
Enabling transparent cloud cost monitoring with user-level dashboards
We are excited to announce that dashboards to monitor cloud usage and costs at a per-user level are now available! See the cost monitoring documentation for more information. A key goal of 2i2c is to make the cloud safe for science.
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.
. Example from the NASA VEDA project.Supported cloud providers
